The Common Room
In observance of my one year anniversary at the 10th Avenue Arts Center, I want to try and explain the place where I work. The 10th Avenue Arts Center is a building older than most downtown. It was formerly a church. When you walk in the building you can hear a faint buzz. That would be the original elevator. I have only traveled in that time machine on three occasions and they were some of the most anxiety stricken moments of my life. Once, the elevator stopped mid floor and I literally had to Indiana Jones my way out of there. The ground floor is a smaller experimental theatre.

If you walk to the back of the stage, behind the curtain there is a long dressing room with an ageless feel. The back room is lined with mirrors that are iced with marque lights. The second floor has a gallery that is beautiful, clean and simple. The lighting is perfect. The third floor is where the magic happens. When you walk into the large open room you will notice lights lining the back wall and the very good beggingings of a homage to Jackson Polluck on the floor.

This is the home of the studio floor for the resident artists. The three resident artists are currently myself, Theresa Wear, Gerald Montoya and Adam Lewis Smith.The roof is a wonderful place to work and allows for even larger projects. Recently, Mohelo, a non-profit theatre moved into the building, a great addition to the artistic hub in downtown’s East Village. There are 2 open studio spaces available. We are now reviewing portfolios to fill those spots. Here’s some of the work that was created there.
