BKLYN Commons Reintroduces In-Person Events, Celebrations

Hey members!

We cannot thank you enough for your patience, endurance, and compassion throughout the pandemic. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that New York State will be following the CDC’s guidance on reopening. This means that as of May 19th, fully vaccinated individuals no longer need to wear masks indoors as businesses permit. If you are fully vaccinated, you will no longer be required to wear a mask when working at BKLYN Commons.

Please continue to be respectful of each other’s space while coworking and contact the BKLYN Commons team with any questions, comments, or concerns.  

As the world inches towards a new normal, BKLYN Commons looks forward to hosting in-person celebrations, events, and milestones for our members and the community. If you would like to reserve BKLYN Commons’ expansive outdoor rooftop patio for your upcoming engagement, please contact BKLYN Commons Event Manager, Lorraine Campbell: lorraine@bklyncommons.com.

Silver-Lake-Rooftop-Art-Mixer-by-ADAM-CHUCK-BKLYN-COMMONS

Artist Adam Chuck (center) opened his solo art gallery on May 22 at BKLYN Commons’ PLG/Flatbush location. Chuck transformed blank walls at BKLYN Commons into a visual journey, displaying nearly 400 paintings across walls, floors, and columns.

“That’s ten years of my life, and all of the events and emotions, transcribed in oil on small silver squares,” said Chuck. “My main intent in my work is to represent the beauty of the larger queer community and my chosen family, to show the beauty in all types of bodies, and to record our lives in these times.”

Silver, Lake is able to be viewed on by appointment only now through July 11, 2021.
