FOURTH ARTS BLOCK (FAB):

FAB is a leadership, development and service organization for cultural and community organizations in the East 4th Street Cultural District. We are preserving a creative environment that gave rise to and continues to nurture the development of diverse, experimental art.

East 4th Street between 2nd Ave and Bowery is home to more than a dozen diverse arts groups, most of whom have been pioneering tenants of the block for several decades and have outstanding records for artistic innovation, support for emerging artists, and for engaging low and moderate income individuals and families in their programs. Each year, our members’ programs serve more than 1,200 artists and attract an audience of more than 200,000.

Due to FAB’s activism and the support of local elected officials, in October 2005, the City sold 8 properties to the block’s arts tenants for $1 each and designated it a Cultural District, recognizing more than a century of focused artistic activity and social activism. With 17 venues in 9 buildings, the district already offers one of the City’s most vibrant concentrations of cultural organizations. Once completed, the cultural district will transform 100,000 square feet of space into active cultural use – a powerful legacy in a City where affordable space for artists is an increasingly rare commodity.
