The kinds of people who have hosted their weddings at our guildhall are the kind of people who see these celebrations as, first and foremost, a way to bring their loved ones together in community. To that end, we have hosted the earnest traditional wedding ceremony as well as the completely original “take-over-the-whole-building-for-10-hours-and-host-nonstop-workshops-facilitated-by-our-friends-while-the-wedding-bands-are-forged-in-front-of-a-live-audience” kind of wedding. We joyfully welcome all of it. And, yes, we have NY certified marriage officiants available.

We regularly host readings/rehearsals, art exhibitions, and full scale productions of all kinds. Moreover, our membership includes people who balance a their professional expertise in the performing arts world with a healthy dose of “let’s get weird.” Let us work with you to devise the best way to blow people’s minds. From immersive experiences (developed by former Sleep No More cast members) to groundbreaking hybrid one-woman shows to participatory art installations to surrealist dance experiences, we delight in supporting people who make a practice of baring their souls for their audiences.

This building and our cooperative membership have hosted all manner of gatherings focused around different communities and the practices that bring them together— we’re no stranger to panels, multi-day conferences, and group exhibitions. From cybernetics to death/dying to cooperatives, we are just as excited about supporting your group’s logistical event needs as we are nerding out about your specific subject matter (however esoteric it might be!) Moreover, many of our members have supported these kinds of events more directly, from emceeing to facilitating to running workshops. Also our on-site cafe makes food/beverage a breeze and the additional rooms upstairs make for perfect breakout rooms. If you have a program you think is mission-aligned, definitely let us know!

Although this is not a funeral home and we do not have the facilities for viewings, we offer a community-centered place to remember your loved one. With an ADA street level main event space and additional rentable rooms upstairs for more quiet kinds of remembrance, our multipurpose space can offer a unique way to hold space for your loved ones. Our team can also provide a whole suite of services to help you shoulder logistics without sacrificing an earnest, heartfelt touch each step of the way. From event planning to on-site catering to all facets of experience design (e.g. printed programs, floral arrangement, activity brainstorming), our team is here help you create a bespoke experience that caters specifically to your guests’ needs and captures their spirit in the way you want to remember them.

Our cooperative member, Carlos (who leads WTF XR), is leading our guildhall’s immersive, interactive, holographic, and otherwise digitally mind-bending experiential practice. Whether you’re an artist who needs to find a practitioner (with a fully equipped space) or an organization that wants to blow people’s minds with the most cutting edge digital wizardry, let us know how we can leverage our full theatrical lighting grid, our on-site short throw projectors, and our community’s professional digital creatives to give your vision a bold and futuristic voice. Not only that, but Carlos' practice centers around conscious choice art making, meaning his core practice is community centered, educational and designed with accessibility in mind.

This community has a longstanding practice of hosting learning and education experiences. Whether you are a professional educator looking for a perfect place to host your next workshop or someone wanting to organize a special learning experience for your family, team, or organization, we got you covered. We’re delighted to offer multiple rooms that can fit your class size from 5 to 75 and all the screens/projectors, whiteboard surfaces, clipboards, and post-its you might need to bring your subject matter to life. In addition, our membership includes people who run their own educational programs, who you can hire or partner with to teach things like Jamaican cuisine, communication/public speaking, green infrastructure, urban agriculture, creativity, therapeutic writing through rap, working with wild and exotic turtles, or conflict resolution (yes, really, all that and more!)

Need to get out your team out of the office? Bring them to a community-centered space full of creativity, plants, and assorted critters as well as an on-site cafe serving Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee (that’s also right around the corner from NYC’s densest avenue of restaurants), all while still offering the necessities of a high performing office! We have 2 conference rooms with floor to ceiling magnetic whiteboard walls for your brainstorm sessions as well as a beautiful skylight meditation / library / classroom for reconnection and team bonding. Use our main event space for family-style seated meals, large presentation formats, and big group activities. Want our team to put together team-building activations and creativity exercises? Need a third party to facilitate a challenging conversation? We can make that happen for you.

Got something planned that doesn’t fit any of these options? Something that’s been done before? Something that seems to defy categorization? We’re here for it. Bring us your most outlandish ideas or partner with us to bring your experience from ideation to realization.
