Overview
Collectively-run DIY arts space combining a venue, studios, and residencies before its 2018 closure.
Silent Barn was a collectively-run DIY arts space that combined an all-ages venue with studios, a residency program, and community projects, first in Ridgewood and later on Bushwick Avenue. It is often cited as a model for sustaining DIY culture, and its 2018 closure is frequently discussed in terms of rising rents.
