The Art of Connection
Noosphere Arts, aka Noo Arts, brings together artists, scientists, and thinkers in unconventional spaces across New York City to explore humanity's relationship with the natural world. Uniting dance, music, theater, visual arts, film, poetry & prose around a core of systems thinking, our collaborative productions harness the power of art and community to catalyze social change.
Rooted in Brooklyn
Our unique indoor-outdoor home in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, is an industrial plant turned wildlife sanctuary. As the arts partner in the coalition behind rooftop community garden Kingsland Wildflowers @ Broadway Stages, Noo Arts presents multidisciplinary experiences at the nexus of art and eco-consciousness.
As of 2026, we are also operating Noo Arts House on Governors Island, a former military base now public parkland. Both sites are resonant contexts serving as potent reminders of humankind’s simultaneous capacity for destruction and regeneration. Anchored in these evolving environments, we invite all comers to experience transformation as a shared, relational process.
