Brooklyn Arts Press

Brooklyn Arts Press, BAP, is a small literary press devoted to publishing art monographs and poetry books by emerging artists. Experimentation, innovation, and devotion to formal and historical aspects of art are all honored here, as these traits supply the means by which all works are created and diverge. We hope to serve the community by placing books of varying aesthetics side by side, and by subverting the current notion that artistic camps exist in vacuums, apart from the culture in which they reside and apart from other camps. Language and images will be used to whatever ends, by whatever means, by the voices that manipulate them, which are by nature numerous and diverse.

BAP was founded in 2007 as an organization designed to publish emerging poets and artists. Our staff is comprised of unpaid loyalists, whose editorial resolve, time, effort, and expertise allows us to publish the best of our submissions.

New Books

Jonathan Allen

Untitled

Art Monograph

Jonathan Allen’s intricate mixed-media works repurpose images and materials from the internet, print media, and everyday life into surreal dreamscapes. These dreamscapes often mix collage, paint, and drawing techniques to evoke a sense of fragmentation, poetry, and complexity.

Adam Courtney

Box Project: Series I

Art Monograph

Adam Courtney's work involves constructing environments; sometimes those environments become part of a photograph involving models, sometimes they remain the final product. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
