IndieSpace Together
A New Way to Connect, Create, and Collaborate
We’re excited to share that our coworking program is getting a refresh—with a new name, a new vibe, and even more ways to build community. Welcome to IndieSpace Together.
This new version reflects what we’ve seen really matters to artists: the conversations, the connections, and the space to be supported and inspired. While coworking is still part of the experience, this gathering is evolving into something deeper—a consistent space to meet others, ask questions, explore ideas, and engage with the IndieSpace team and invited guests.
We’re also making a couple of exciting updates:
Extended hours, so you can drop in when it works best for you
More consistent scheduling, to help make IndieSpace Together a regular part of your creative rhythm and give you the opportunity to plan ahead.
This is about showing up for each other—and growing stronger, together.
Our Next Gathering: Wednesday, May 14, 2025
At Brooklyn Art Haus from 1pm – 7pm
This next edition of IndieSpace Together is all about showing up for yourself and your creative community.
Since May is Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re including a wellness offering: free chair massages provided by Infinite Massage from 3pm to 5pm, in a quiet space designed for rest and recharge.
We’re also excited to be on the move this year, as we will be hosting IndieSpace Together in venues across the city.
We are thrilled that Brooklyn Art Haus will be hosting this month! It’s an amazing space that supports artists and wellness, and this is a great chance to explore it as a potential venue for your future projects. Their team will be there to answer questions and share info.
And of course, the IndieSpace staff will be around all day to help you learn more about our programs, offer support, and talk through anything you’re working on.
So whether you come to cowork, get a massage, ask questions, or just hang out with fellow creatives – this day is yours. We can’t wait to see you there.
Here’s the flow of the day:
Coworking | 1pm – 5pm
Need a break from working alone at home? Bring your laptop, notebook, noise-canceling headphones, and whatever project you’re working on and spend the afternoon surrounded by fellow artists. The space is yours—quiet focus or collaborative energy, all are welcome.
Free Chair Massages | 3pm – 5pm
We’ll have a quiet wellness space in Studio 1 with chair massages for attendees.
Networking and Games | 5pm – 7pm
Enjoy some networking time with the IndieSpace team and fellow creatives. It’s a chance to meet a wide range of people from our community – writers, producers, actors, technical staff, and mentors! No pressure, just conversation and community.
Or you can shift into game mode! Join a low-key game sessions featuring a mix of board games and interactive group games. It’s a fun, easy way to connect, laugh, and end the day with good vibes.
This day is designed to be flexible, welcoming, and centered on the kind of connection that keeps our creative community strong.
And don’t miss your chance to participate in the IndieSpace Connection Lottery – just by showing up, you could be selected to win $500 to support your artistic journey. Being present is part of the process, and this is our way of celebrating that!
Our Hosts – Brooklyn Art Haus
IndieSpace Together will be held at venues around the city this year. It’s a way for everyone to experience different neighborhoods and spaces.
Our special thanks to Brooklyn Art Haus for being the first to host this event! We are excited to partner with a venue that works hard to support artists and wellness! And glad that additional community members can see what a fantastic venue it is.

What Is IndieSpace Together?
IndieSpace Together is a community-powered gathering space for artists to connect, recharge, and grow. Whether you’re coming to get some work done, meet new people, or just be in the mix, here’s what you can expect:
Support with IndieSpace applications and guidance on how to access our year-round resources
Opportunities to connect with our team and special guests—like grant writers, development consultants, producing collectives, elected officials, and foundation partners—who will join us at different sessions to share tools and insight based on community needs
Activities that energize and inspire, from advocacy conversations and documentary chats to games, books, and creative exchanges
A rotating venue series, with sessions held at different theater spaces across NYC, giving folks a chance to discover new artistic homes
Coworking, an opportunity to get work done outside of your home, in community with other indie theater makers. Bring your laptop, your notebook, or that project you've been meaning to finish—and enjoy the company of others doing the same.
This isn’t just a place to work—it’s a space to gather, grow, and feel part of something bigger.
Our First Gathering: Wednesday, April 16, 2025
At West Village Rehearsal Co-Op
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the first IndieSpace Together event.
Your presence helped transform the gathering into a vibrant space for connection, creativity, and collective care.
By showing up, you affirmed the importance of gathering in community – to build relationships, share resources, and strengthen the indie theater ecosystem.
Special Guests – Privy Producing Collective
We are so grateful that Privy Producing Collective joined us at IndieSpace Together during the coworking section!
Privy Producing Collective is made up of Theresa Buchheister, Julia Greer, and Bailey Williams. They have each produced on many different scales wearing countless hats – taking projects from concept to presentation all over New York and beyond. They came together over a belief that artists and indie companies should be empowered to make and present their own work.
