A new 20,000-square foot arts venue in Long Island City has plans to expand in the neighborhood, a growth initiative that begins with the event series “NABRHOOD.”

NABRHOOD will feature live music, projection art and food from Bareburger. The Arc will offer some complimentary passes to the upcoming shows and provide a 20 percent discount to members, patrons and subscribers who purchase tickets with the promo code "QNS."

“Our mission is to build the unequivocally best performance space in the world for our community of artists,” the venue founder DMNDR writes on the Arc website.
