SPRING 2011

 

The Space (since 2003) exists to build a safe, positive community for people of all ages through music and the arts. Physically, we are a listening room venue located in an unlikely industrial park in a sleepy suburb of New Haven, Connecticut. So we definitely have that whole mystery thing going for us.

We're somewhat small in venue size (150 capacity), but we house a whole lot of love and a whole lot of decorations. You can spend a few months mentally cataloguing all the weird random things hanging from our walls and ceilings. We have a large stage that is the focal point of the room. We have a Vintage Boutique (The Attic) and 80s arcade upstairs. We also have a Cafe that serves awesome food and there is an expansive outdoor patio area that has comfortable seating.

The Space is basically halfway between an underground arts collective and a sticky floor rock venue. There's carpet, A checkered Floor and a staff of awesome people. There are velvet couches crazy lamps and over 50 different flavors of tea. There's also rock and roll, folk, acoustic orchestras, independent film, SKA, experimental, indie shows, and more happening on our stage. We have hosted hundreds and hundreds of national, regional and local bands since we opened in early 2003. We are excited to announce that we will be opening a second stage in early 2011. We are a venue run by musicians for musicians and we go out of our way for our community and scene.
