Long Island City the Perfect Entry Point for SPACES U.S. Debut

7/5/16

Spaces Long Island City has rolled out a variety of new local partnerships for members and the surrounding community. These include:

  • Custom art by 5Pointz graffiti artist Jonathan “Meres One” Cohen, which is his first public work since the iconic mural space was whitewashed last year. The piece features Meres’ recognizable lightbulbs which are symbolic for the “bright ideas” taking place in Spaces every day and “leaving the lights on” in Long Island City since 5 Pointz was demolished to build a condo complex.
  • Cocktail networking hours sponsored by Queens-based Cocktail Crate
  • Floral arrangements on-demand from Astoria florists Petals & Roots
  • A full coffee bar serving Native Coffee Roasters, based in Queens
  • Community events, workshops and seminars that are led by local experts and open to the community as well as Spaces members. For example, last month Spaces LIC hosted branding expert Jasmine Sandler for a workshop on social media strategy for entrepreneurs
