Description
Culture Lab LIC is a nonprofit that turns a Long Island City lot into a gathering spot for free music, art, and theater. The space includes a gallery and an outdoor lot for live summer concerts, and it runs residency programs for local performing artists. Visitors describe it as a 'wonderful third space' that leaves them happy. On warmer Fridays, free jazzy performances draw crowds, with beer, wine, soft drinks, and free popcorn available. Workshops like the one on famous women in Queens offer an interactive way to learn local history.
