This year’s #GivingTuesday, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the artists, neighbors, and visitors who filled Sunset Park with creativity during #SunsetParkOpenStudios.
This year, #SPOS2025 brought together more than 300 participating artists, makers, and creatives, alongside 10+ partner organizations, to welcome the public into 30+ studios, exhibitions, and local cultural hubs across Sunset Park. Over one weekend, more than # visitors explored our neighborhood’s artistic landscape, meeting artists, discovering new spaces, and experiencing the diversity of creative practices happening right here.
None of this would have been possible without you!
As we enter the season of giving, we invite you to join us in supporting Sunset Park Wide Open—the organization behind each SPOS weekend.
Thank you for supporting the artists and communities who make SPWO possible, and for being part of the story of Sunset Park.

Thank you, Sunset Park! 🧡
What a weekend. Three days, 30+ locations, and hundreds of artists opening their doors—but what made it special was YOU.
Thank you to every artist, supporter, neighbor, volunteer, and visitor who made this weekend shine. You filled Sunset Park with energy, creativity, and connection.
We’re still catching our breath—and already dreaming about next year.
Until then, keep creating, keep exploring, and keep Sunset Park wide open. ☀️

About Art Cake:
Art Cake was founded in 2019 by brothers Cordy and Ethan Ryman to provide space for production and events to creatives in New York City. Located in a converted industrial building from the 1920s, the space takes its name from its previous uses as a patisserie and paint distribution factory. The 13,000 square foot space was renovated by architects Joe Smith and Dylan Sauer in close collaboration with the founders and features a 4200 sq. ft. pristine event venue with 17 ft. ceilings and authentic historic architectural details that retain hints of the building’s past.
Open Studios featuring Nicole Awai, Jim Condron, Jan Dickey, Martin Dull, Eric Laverty, Justin Natividad, Simona Prives, Kim Uchiyama, Scott VanderVoort, and Lucia Warck-Meister.
