Momenta Art presents its sixth annual benefit to support its ongoing
mission to exhibit the work of emerging and underrepresented artists. A
$150 ticket guarantees you a work of art and entrance for two to the
silent auction and raffle drawing held at White Columns on March 16.
Tickets are limited to 134! Please call 718.218.8058 in advance to
reserve your tickets.
Some of the artists participating in this year's benefit raffle will

There will also be a silent auction featuring works by Katherine

Momenta will present 134 works by both emerging and known artists on
display at our gallery in Brooklyn, NY. During this period, tickets will
be sold for $150. each( 10% discount to artists) until all the tickets
are sold. Then the work will be re-installed at White Columns located at
320 W 13th Street in Manhattan, March 12 through March 16, where the
raffle drawing and party will be held.
The first randomly drawn ticket will give the holder first choice of one
work displayed. The drawing will continue until all tickets are drawn.
Momenta Art is a not-for-profit exhibition space whose mission is to
promote the work of emerging artists through two person shows, allowing
artists separate project rooms and the distinct opportunity to present a
substantial body of work. For most of these artists, this is their first
opportunity to exhibit in New York outside of a group show. For each
exhibition we publish a newsletter which lists other local galleries
while providing further information about the work exhibited in our
project rooms. This newsletter also contains a map of art spaces in the
area, so for those unfamiliar with Williamsburg, Momenta is an excellent
first stop in Brooklyn.
Momenta Art is located at 72 Berry Street, ground floor, between N9th
and N10th Sts. in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. By subway, take the L train to
Bedford stop (the first stop in Brooklyn). Exit on the Bedford side.
Walk one block towards the river to Berry Street. Make a right on Berry
Street and continue 2 1/2 blocks. By car, take the outside lane of the
Williamsburg Bridge to the first exit. Make a sharp right onto Broadway.
Drive 2 1/2 blocks to Berry Street and make a right. Continue for
approximately 10 blocks.
