An announcement late last night from the proprietors of beloved Bushwick DIY art hub Secret Project Robot (SPR) publicly confirmed a decision which has long been in the works: when the end of the space’s 5-year lease is up at the end of the summer, they’ll be packing up to move.
“I will not give our landlords a bad name, they offered us a fair deal to stay, it was simply something that is untenable for a small artist run organization to swallow in the wake of higher priced everything else in New York City as well,” SPR’s Rachel Nelson said in an email to the space’s followers.
