BWAC's PIER SHOW 9 broke all previous records with 4000 visitors and significant sales on opening weekend. The auction takes place during the closing celebration for Pier Show 9 where 220 artists are exhibiting in the Beard Street Pier, at the very end of Van Brunt Street in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn. There are over 30 works of art in a silent auction throughout the show, ending just before the live auction. Every bidder will receive a free copy of BWAC's Open Doors, a 40-page book of artists' interviews with photos of their studios and work. BWAC's educational program places artists in schools to both teach art and act as role models for the students.
