As twilight fell over Brooklyn’s Gowanus waterfront on October 9, artists, patrons, and cultural innovators converged on the industrial sanctum of Powerhouse Arts for the organization’s most anticipated event of the year—the 2025 Artists Celebration: Fête of the Fates. The gala’s name is a play on words, combining a celebration or festive “fête,” with “fates,” referring to the night’s journey-like theme and mythological inspirations.

The evening, a dazzling and transformative exploration of artistic destiny, marked Powerhouse’s second annual benefit and served as its foremost fundraising event to support and celebrate creative expression and raise funds for this new organization. Powerhouse is a 170,000-square-foot industrial structure that in the 1950s was a decommissioned transit power station, and then a haven for graffiti and squatters, nicknamed “the Batcave.” It has since been transformed into an epic art space overlooking the Gowanus canal by Herzog & de Meuron and PBDW Architects.
