Our Future
In 2008, thanks to Two Trees Management Co. LLC and the New York Economic Development Corporation, ISSUE was awarded a 20-year rent-free lease to the 4,800 sq. ft. theater space at 22 Boerum Place (within the former Board of Education building at 110 Livingston). Once renovated, this space will be home to more than 4,000 events reaching more than 1,000,000 people across the life of our lease and will effectively transform downtown Brooklyn into a global epicenter for cutting edge arts of the highest quality with clear opportunities to:
- Best serve artists and the community by providing a state of the art facility that matches the high integrity of the work being presented
- Create a vibrant international cultural center in downtown Brooklyn where audiences can experience the latest in artistic innovation
- Serve an even broader public and expand community outreach
- Increase artist services through newly launched programs
- Develop longterm partnerships with like-minded cultural institutions and community groups
- Develop as a cultural institution with long-term sustainability
