Galapagos Art Space's new location in DUMBO is on target to become New York City's first LEED certified 'green' cultural venue. It has a 1600 square-foot lake, island seating on the lake, and the lake is surrounded by a wrap around mezzanine with operatic 'box-style seating. Galapagos presents theater, dance, performance art, cinema, and music events every week. Hosting and producing weddings and special events of all kinds helps us achieve that mission and supports the most delicate aspects of our programming. Galapagos is available to host your customized special event. We offer unparalleled, award-wining beauty and a bulging rolodex of NYC's top performers. Let us produce a cabaret show for your cocktail party or transform your wedding reception into an unforgettable and truly romantic affair. We specialize in business and personal events -- on a grand or intimate scale.

In Short
When Galapagos' owners were presented with a crippling rent increase at their old Williamsburg location, DUMBO landlord David Walentas offered them a sweetheart deal on a century-old horse stable. The soaring, 10,000-square-foot structure has been renovated into a sultry, stunning multilevel event space (and an upstairs smoking patio) that's outfitted with comfy half-moon booths bathed in a red glow. Every seat is a perfect perch to watch the evening's entertainment--the stage is theatrically cantilevered over a wading pool--while downing drafts from Captain Lawrence and Sixpoint.

Hits: From puppet shows to hula hoop hoedowns, you'll enjoy some of Brooklyn's most eclectic events in a gorgeous venue fit for grown-ups and college kids alike.

Misses: If you don't snag one of the scant booths or a seat at the bar, you'll likely spend the evening milling around.

SURPRISE STOP ON THE ROLLING MOVIE TOUR THIS TUES NITE!!!

by roboxtravaganza 5 Galapagos Art Space

movie synopsis:
It's all about the night for a med student, a teenage runaway, a lawyer, a drag queen, a high school basketball star, a dealer, and a teacher as they all cross paths in the Ecstasy-riddled Los Angeles underground party scene. The film is an entertaining roller coaster-like experience that captures "the giddy highs and crushing lows" (The New York Times) of this unique phenomenon. With a documentary-like style, ROLLING exposes the delicate balance of these users' relationships and responsibilities as they chase its dangerous drug-induced euphoria known as ROLLING!

Pros: independent film brings it's nation-wide tour to brooklyn

Cons: only one show :(
