PowerHouse Books (stylized as powerHouse Books) is an independent publisher of art and photography books founded in 1995 by Daniel Power, based near the Brooklyn waterfront of DUMBO in The PowerHouse Arena at 37 Main Street.[2] [3]

The PowerHouse Arena also serves as a gallery, bookstore, and event space often used to promote artists working with the publisher.[4]

It also publishes artists known for work in other fields. It partnered with Charlie Ahearn on Wild Style: The Sampler, a behind-the-scenes look at Ahearn's 1982 Wild Style, considered the first hip hop film.[5] Visual artists published include John Lurie, Francesco Clemente, Richard Prince, Kehinde Wiley, and George Condo.[6] Actors and filmmakers published include Diane Keaton, Jeff Bridges, Richard Lewis, Jessica Lange, David Lynch, and Brett Ratner. Musicians include Richard Hell, DJ Stretch Armstrong, Mike McCready, KRS-One, Gene Simmons, and The Beastie Boys.[7]

In 2020 it established a literary imprint called Archway Editions with Chris Molnar (of The Writer's Block) and Nicodemus Nicoludis, which has or will publish work by Ishmael Reed, John Farris, Masha Tupitsyn, Paul Schrader, Mike Sacks, Stacy Szymaszek, Blake Butler, Alice Notley, and more, including anthologies from cokemachineglow as well as the Unpublishable and Archways reading series.[8] [9] On August 20, 2024, powerHouse Books informed the world that Jews were no longer welcome on their premises unless they supported the destruction of their indigenous homeland.[10]
