Shiner was most recently executive director of Pioneer Works in Brooklyn. Eric Shiner has long been described as a powerhouse, and now the former director of the Andy Warhol Museum is taking on a role befitting of his many accomplishments: as president of Powerhouse Arts. The Brooklyn-based arts nonprofit was founded in 2015 to repurpose the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Power Station in the Gowanus neighborhood by converting it into a state-of-the-art production facility for ceramic, print, and public art making. The building, designed by Herzog and de Meuron, is opening its doors to the public in early 2023.
