ABOUT THE SPACE The powerHouse Arena is a gallery, boutique, bookstore, and event space boasting a 24-foot ceiling soaring over a 5,200 square-foot ground floor showcasing amphitheatrestyle seating, and surrounded by 175 linear-feet of glass frontage designed by famed architect David Howell. Attached by a central staircase is the Arena Skylounge, a 560 square-foot, mezzanine-level, multifunctional gallery, VIP lounge, and green room. These stunning spaces have hosted a series of landmark exhibitions and events, and are now available for private hire. An utterly singular and unique space with floor views of the East River waterfront and the breathtaking backdrop of the Brooklyn Bridge, Empire-Fulton Ferry Warehouse, and the stately Manhattan Bridge of early industrial-era Brooklyn (DUMBO), the Arena's configuration is unmatched by any other in New York City. The possibilities are endless: exhibitions, presentations, social gatherings, club meetings, photo shoots, book signings, panel discussions, film shoots, press events, fashion shows, private parties, product launches, screenings, and record releases, musical and theatrical events, after parties, even weddings and bar mitzvahs... most events in The powerHouse Arena have attracted prominent press attention, from outlets such as The New York Times (weddings, book readings), The New Yorker (festival entertainment, book and foundation-sponsored panels), Time Out New York (exhibition rental and launch previews), New York magazine (book signings, musical and cabaret performances), and Vanity Fair (celebrity event launches). The powerHouse Arena shares unparalleled press relations with its sister company, powerHouse Books. Past events include the St. Ann's Warehouse after party for the world premiere performance of Lou Reed's Berlin; VH1's Hip Hop Honors Week; The New Yorker Speakeasy; PEN World Voices; and the National Book Foundation's "5 Under 35" event; the American Cancer Society fundraiser "Eat, Drink, Live"; the Wee CRAIC film festival; a Sarah Jessica Parker commercial shoot for Japan's 100% Coke Light; and The Vans: Off The Wall book launch (with indoor skateboarding). Past installations and exhibits include Nike's RE-RUN launch; Boost Mobile's All Writes Reserved exhibit; and a legal defense fundraiser for graffiti artist Alan Ket.
