No white dresses and wedding bells at this venue, the only bridal thing about the Painted Bride Art Center is its engaging art- and there’s a lot of it. When the sun is shining, the space serves as a contemporary art gallery featuring cutting edge works, but when the stars come out, it transforms into a multicultural playhouse with everything from art to prose and poetry readings as well as live musical acts.

Expect everything but the traditional art gallery pieces at the Center where avant-garde and independent artists reign supreme.
