Galapagos Art Space
Summer 2008 saw the reopening of Galapagos, a former Williamsburg based performance venue that was ironically priced out of the neighborhood it helped establish.

Along with their not-for-profit fundraising activities, a rotating showcase of theater, dance, performance art, music, cinema, and literary events keep things fresh.
