Arts and Culture

Restoration's Center for the Arts and Culture (CAC) is a multidisciplinary arts and cultural institution with a mission to present, promote and preserve the multicultural arts legacy of people of African descent and to inform the artistic development of our community.

CAC endeavors to become the cultural destination of Central Brooklyn, whereby patrons, artists, stakeholders, and the community can experience a plethora of diverse artistic offerings through Restoration's cultural programs and cultural partnerships.

CAC currently comprises the following:

Youth Arts Academy (YAA): YAA offers classes in dance, drama, music and arts literacy, and conducts residencies and workshops in the New York City schools through its Arts-In-Action program. YAA is also home to the renowned Restoration Dance Theatre Junior Company.

The Skylight Gallery: Located on the 3rd floor of Restoration Plaza, this light and airy 2,000 square foot gallery presents a range of local and nationally-recognized artists with roots in the African Diaspora.

CAC's Residency Program: serves as an incubation lab for organizations across artistic disciplines. This program broadens CAC's audience to include small, but salient cultural organizations and the constituents they serve. The Residency Program provides the organizations the infrastructure support they need to carry out their missions and strengthen the capacity of each resident's overall institution.

  • Billie Holiday Theatre: Soon to undergo first-class renovations, this historic 200-seat theatre offers a full bill of performances each year, including premiere presentations of plays written and/or produced by local artists.
  • Noel Pointer Foundation- is a non-profit organization that provides string, piano, and theory instruction to students through in-curricular, extra curricular, Saturday and summer music programs.
  • Choreoquest: This exclusive residency offers opportunities for emerging and accomplished choreographers to create, develop and present new works.
  • John Oliver Killens Writers Workshop: Since its inception, the John Oliver Killens Writers Workshop, Inc. has been dedicated to preserving and presenting the varied stories of people of the African Diaspora in particular, and people of color in general. All of our programs and activities are extensions of this commitment.
