Donut District: Brooklyn's Artist-Run Gallery Cluster Defies New York's Real Estate Pressures

Situated in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, the Donut District is home to three galleries operated by artists: Primetime, Know More Games, and 247365, all positioned near a Dunkin' Donuts and a Sunoco gas station beneath the Brooklyn–Queens Expressway. Primetime, which began as a nonprofit in February 2010, transitioned to a donor-supported model through Kickstarter in early 2012. Know More Games was established in July 2011 by Jacques Louis Vidal, Brian Faucette, and Miles Huston, while 247365 was co-founded by Jesse Greenberg and MacGregor Harp in November 2012. Notable exhibitions include the Neoteny group show at 247365 in February and a black-and-white drawing showcase at both 247365 and Know More Games. An article from November 2013 highlights the scarcity of permanent artist-run galleries in New York.
