LIC Artists

Great community space. Free Jazzy performances on Fridays in the warmer months. Beer, wine & soft drinks available and free pop corn! Some outdoor seating and a couple food trucks outside. Low cost cool fun. Loved it and will return!

I attended an event that had rented this space. It is very clean, well lit, everything with the space seemed to be working well. It is in a complex that faces a parking lot. My only suggestion would be better signage as to where the entrance is at. (Hint: look for the blue door)

Today was Indonesian Day, celebrated with a vibrant Pasar Malam New York at Culture Lab, LIC! The festival was alive with the aromas of Indonesian specialties, Malaysian delicacies, and Southeast Asian treats — rendang, nasi bakar, satay, kuih, and more. On stage, music and dance created an atmosphere of joy and pride. Inside, I explored the exhibition “Clashing Steel: The Art of Stage Combat” — rows of rapiers, broadswords, and armor showing how theatre transforms weaponry into storytelling. It was wonderful to see not only the Indonesian Consulate (the host) but also the Consulates of Malaysia and Thailand supporting the event. I had the pleasure of taking a photo with our Malaysian consular representative 🇲🇾, and — by chance — I reconnected with two Malaysian friends I first knew in Singapore back in 2010. Through them, I met two staff from Resorts World here in New York. Such serendipitous reunions reminded me how our Southeast Asian networks travel with us, no matter where we are. A day of culture, food, friendship, and unexpected connections — truly unforgettable.

Wonderful place to visit on a Friday night. Good music. A art display to view between sets. Bar for drinks. Nice evening!

Culture Lab is a awesome place. They had exhibits of swords and armor. They also had a concession stand as soon as you enter the building and they had concerts and concession stands outside in front of their building. Will be back to culture lab to check out the other concerts.
