Galapagos Art Space, situated in the historic horse stables at 16 Main Street, serves as a cultural hub in the burgeoning DUMBO arts district. Hosting diverse performances like music, spoken word, and cabaret, the venue also features a Kunsthalle gallery for rotating installations. The ground floor garage, once for horse-drawn carts, now functions as the main performance hall
with a bar. Notably, the venue's floor is a 6” recirculating pool, offering visual dynamism and thermal regulation. The space's design prioritizes acoustic excellence, simplicity in materials, and energy efficiency, reflecting its commitment to fostering artistic expression in a sustainable environment.
