“We are proud to run an organization which serves a great diversity of NYC and international artists – as both a safe haven to work and create in, as well as a uniquely inviting social atmosphere to find and create community and be supported as serious artists. We closely attend to the needs of everyone who works here, and strive to maintain a respectful and constructive atmosphere to support the community we happily serve. Our aims are to present public events that are informative, inspiring and fun, and to engender a meaningful engagement between artists and audience. We encourage our presenting artists to hold talkbacks following performance. This helps promote an atmosphere of congenial discourse and intellectual community among thoughtful artists and free spirits. Our events tend to attract other artists, affording the attending public a personal engagement rarely found in bigger, less colloquial spaces. At this time in New York City, it is not easy to find space to produce new theatre, music, art and performance. We are pleased that we can provide affordable spaces to artists and the public in that regard. We invite you to take a look at our website and give us a call at (212) 675-1390 to discuss how your next project might work at The Alchemical.”
