A new home on an avenue for East Village gallery-bookstore Ed. Varie

Ed. Varie (short for Edition Varie), a creative space that has hosted exhibits, book openings and other special events for the past nearly 15 years, is moving into a new home at 95 Avenue B.

The larger space is right around the corner from their previous home at 184 E. Seventh St. (Artist-curator Karen Schaupeter launched Ed. Varie in 2009.)

Per a recent Instagram post...
Our new home will allow us to revive and regenerate past programs that had been squeezed into such small spaces, they began bordering on non-existence.

Our new home will allow us to embrace and embark on all of the projects we put on the illusive back burner for the past 7 years.

Our new home will allow us to conjure and collaborate with our broad and growing community of artists, aligning with our mission to nurture the exploration of new concepts in artistic practice.
Ed. Varie will debut No. 95 on Thursday (4/20) with the ninth annual Pot Shop and Potluck from 6-9 p.m. here between Sixth Street and Seventh Street. 

And coming to Ed. Varie on weekends in May...

    Love it. Now we just need all of the vacancies on lower Avenue B to keep filling - especially between 3rd and 5th!

    Great! And here's hoping they'll also re-open the community book-drop out front!

    Thank you EV Grieve! We are so happy in our new home! Free Library is getting a new paint job and will be back out on the street in a few weeks:)
