About the New Space

Last March, Light Industry began operations in Industry City, a 16-building industrial complex in Sunset Park, Brooklyn that is home to a cross-section of manufacturing, warehousing and, of course, light industry. The founding of the organization dovetailed with a regeneration program at Industry City intended to diversify the use of its 6 million square feet of space to better reflect 21st century production. As part of this program, Industry City initiated a cultural component that began with developing workspace for artists, and included studios at competitive rates as well as a limited number of low-cost Incubator Studios for artists in financial need. Light Industry then set up shop in a donated Incubator space, inaugurating a partnership between our organization and Industry City. The arts initiative at Industry City was conceived in response to the lack of affordable workspace for artists in New York City and, more broadly, aims to establish a new paradigm for both cultural and industrial redevelopment--one that does not displace industry, workers, artists or local residents but instead builds a sustainable community in a context that integrates cultural and industrial production (for more information, please visit Industry City Art Project).
 
At the beginning of February, Light Industry relocated to a new, larger space at 220 36th Street in Building 2 of Industry City, just around the corner from our original 33rd Street location in Building 9. As we expand our programming substantially in 2009, this move marks an exciting new phase in Light Industry’s still brief history, and is a testament to Industry City’s continued generosity and support of the project.
