Coney Island USA

The Nonprofit Arts Organization dedicated to the economic and cultural revitalization of Coney Island. Located in the landmarked building at 1208 Surf Avenue, in the heart of South Brooklyn's amusement district. Coney Island USA exists to defend the honor of American popular culture through innovative exhibitions and performances. Presenting and producing exciting new works, our approach is rooted in mass culture and the traditions of P.T. Barnum, dime museums, burlesque, circus sideshows, vaudeville, and Coney Island itself. Preserving and championing a set of uniquely American visual and performing art forms, we seek to create an international forum for cultural preservation and discourse, and where Coney Island represents these impulses, we strive to make it once again a center for live art and entrepreneurial spirit.
