The Main Event set for Avenue B

The Main Event, a new gallery-events space, is opening soon at 42 Avenue B between Third Street and Fourth Street. 

Karla Lockhart and Jay Bulger, an East Village resident, are running the venue. Lockhart described it this way to EVG contributor Stacie Joy: "The Main Event is not just an art gallery or a place to buy high-end vintage memorabilia, but will also be a space for conversations and events necessary for these changing times in the 20s." 

The first show is set to debut in October and feature photos of the late Lee "Scratch" Perry, whom Bulger once lived with and wrote about for Rolling Stone. Expect to find Bulger's photos of Perry and some other ephemera of the legendary reggae and dub producer. 

You can follow The Main Event's Instagram account for opening updates.

    The Main Event closed in January 2023.

    They had a friendly staff selling high quality high-end at reasonable prices. They also supported culture.
