2014 has brought us some amazing times at The 1896 and Primate Props.  From the yet released movie with Seth Rogen, James Franco, Anthony Mackie and Lizzy Caplan; to television’s Blacklist, National Geographic and Forever; to campaigns for Isopure, DKNY, Under Armour and Reebok; to music videos by Interpol, The Black Keys and Estelle; to amazing shoots for Interview, Harpers Bazaar, Esquire, Elle and Vanity Fair (just to name a few)…we had a ball!

As 2015 draws nearer we look forward to more epic photo and film shoots….and as always we welcome events into our busy schedule.  Whether it was a full house with Urban Daddy/Porsche, Lyft, Guinness or Coors – or creativity was the focus at the NEWD Art Fair – or a happy couple was tying the knot – events, weddings and parties have been an exciting part of life at the 1896.

Pro tip:  slower months like April and August are perfect for booking events.  Email us for information!

The 1896

The 1896 hosted the Newd Art Show during Bushwick Open Studios 2014. We’re very proud to have been a part of this fair aiming to benefit those doing experimental, critically engaged curatorial work.  So much talent!

This month the 1896 has  hosted some amazing events including most recently the Red Bull Curates NYC  Event – celebrating some of the most innovative contemporary artists in NYC as they turn their eye-catching designs into canvas-wrapped Red Bull coolers.  A wood-fired pizza oven from Park Luncheonette and DJs fueled a crowd as they voted 2 artists through to participate in a group exhibition in Miami during the 2013 Art Basel Season.
