Chelsea Factory

As we near the end of our first year, a look back at some of the magic our artists & partners have brought to Chelsea Factory. ✨ Thank you @HBDance for the beautiful narration! Now more than ever, Chelsea Factory is a place for NYers to find connection, inspiration & joy!

While the curtain may be closing on West 26th Street, the impact of our incredible artists and partners will continue to grow. Thank you for joining us!

Since opening our doors, we have served 5,000+ NYC-based artists; proudly welcomed 50,000+ audience members back to live performances; produced 300+ public performances and free events; and partnered with 200+ artistic and community organizations.

✨Cheers to our Chelsea Factory community near and far! As our final chapter comes to a close, a heartfelt thank you to Chelsea Factory’s artists, friends, neighbors, staff, and supporters for helping bring the Chelsea Factory vision to life.
