A venue for contemporary visual art and education, where ideas are made visible through exhibitions, residencies, projects, events and courses.

Biologist, naturalist and field recordist based in Estonia. 

"Sights and sounds of nature are fascinating, I try to capture them both on photos and sound recordings. Unfortunately the diversity of nature is fading away,  I hope that showing the beauty of nature will slow down the merciless destruction of nature by humankind."

"Through a broad range of educational programs, performances, arts and
science residencies, and exhibitions, Pioneer Works seeks to transcend
traditional disciplinary boundaries, foster community, and provide a space
where alternative modes of thought are supported and activated in tangible
ways.

The organization was founded in 2012 by artist Dustin Yellin and is located
in a 25,000-square-foot manufacturing warehouse in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
After an extensive renovation, the facility now houses artist studios,
exhibition and performance spaces, a science lab, a recording studio, and
other spaces as needs arise. The floor plan is open and flexible,
encouraging a transparent, collaborative environment where international
artists, musicians, scientists and educators can co-exist and create
together.

Entry to Pioneer Works’ main exhibition space and artist-in-residence
studios are free and open to the public Wednesday through Sunday, noon to 6
p.m. Tours are available upon request.

Pioneer Works is a non-profit 501(c)(3)."

There’s no question about it: singer-songwriter Aliah Sheffield has always loved music. For her, it isn’t just a “thing” she does, it’s a way of life. It’s in her blood; her heart; her soul.

Born in Newark, New Jersey and raised in Savannah, Georgia, Aliah has always been a singer. Her musical influences cover a wide range—Deniece Williams, Donny Hathaway, Aretha Franklin and Patti LaBelle, to name a few. She played a number of instruments in grade school, including clarinet and saxophone. In high school, she was encouraged to explore the piano as she discovered her songwriting abilities. While studying film scoring at Berklee College of Music she began to experiment with fusing genres, particularly soul and R&B, to create her unique keyboard driven style. Yes, her music is heartfelt; her vulnerability definitely shows. But at the same time, her songs are also inspiring and empowering.

Today, Aliah is fulfilling her dream of performing and sharing her music, capturing audiences in settings from intimate to grand. Working with industry veterans as well as other rising stars, she is currently writing and recording songs for her debut album.

Aliah Sheffield is ready to take the world by storm, so have your best umbrella ready!
