Puffin Brooklyn
After three decades of operating out of Teaneck, NJ, the Puffin Foundation was delighted to expand in April of 2025 with the opening of a satellite office in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
In addition to being a workspace, the new office has a storefront gallery area for art exhibitions, intimate performances, and meetings of community organizations. We are thrilled to be establishing a presence in Brooklyn, NYC, where many of our grantees live, and where an excellent bagel is always within walking distance.

Cover Art/Other Art explores the intersection between “creative work” and “commercial work.”
Tabitha Arnold, Molly Crabapple, and Matt Rota are well established artists working in illustrative journalism, but each of them has an expansive creative practice outside of their commissioned work. This exhibition gives viewers a sense of their range while highlighting some of the important independent media that The Puffin Foundation supports. It asks what threads bind creative and commercial work together, and considers what it means to be a “working artist” when creative livelihoods are increasingly under threat from unregulated AI.
Co-presented with Dissent Magazine, the exhibit includes drawings, prints, and zines by Matt Rota; paintings and journals by Molly Crabapple; and the punch needle tapestries of Tabitha Arnold.
On view:
Sunday, Oct 11th - Sunday, Dec 13th.
Tues, Thur, Sat, Sun from 11-5.
