Proteus Gowanus is a non-profit interdisciplinary gallery and reading room.
The gallery presents exhibits of art, artifacts and books and hosts events that revolve around a year long theme linking the arts to other disciplines and to the community.
Proteus also displays exhibits about the Gowanus Canal history, including maps and specimens.
This year theme for Proteus exhibits is "Paradise". For more information visit Proteus Gowanus web site
