Shaping a Living
February 27 – August 15, 2026
Building 92, Yard Work Gallery, Ground Floor
Every business begins with a personal story built upon skills that are influenced by family and culture, self-taught practices and exploration, and formal training and schooling. Shaping a Living explores the personal and entrepreneurial journeys of Yard-based businesses and how they have shaped the objects they create.
Through these stories, each maker’s work reflects their ongoing growth as innovators and business owners. Visitors are invited to look beyond each finished object to further consider the knowledge, labor, and problem-solving behind it, and to support these local creators through available direct purchasing opportunities.

Brooklyn Navy Yard: Past, Present, and Future is a permanent exhibition at Building 92 that tells the story of the Brooklyn Navy Yard from 1801, when it was founded as one of the nation’s first federal shipyards, through to the site’s use today as an active industrial and innovation hub that is home to hundreds of businesses. The exhibition is located across three floors inside the former residence of the Marine Commandant, an adaptively reused building that was originally constructed in 1858. Inside the exhibition, visitors will get an extensive history of the site through detailed wall text and a variety of artifacts and objects that span across centuries.
The exhibition is the first exhibition to tell the Yard’s story and was originally installed in 2011 with great community support from both organizations and neighborhood residents alike. Ultimately, the exhibition aims to introduce contemporary audiences to the generations of people who worked, transformed, lived, and shaped the Yard over time, and who continue to build upon the storied history of the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
