A small space within the enormous artist colony-of-sorts that is the Old American Can Factory, ISSUE Project Room is a terrific place to see a show. Great events with popular artists (Thurston Moore, Moby) and obscure artsits (theremin players anyone?).
There’s always something here for the daring + experimental. It’s a great place to take your friends and truly one of those “Only in New York” kind of experiences.
