“The Art Exchange represents a unique and
thoughtful combination of a commercial
music venue and an arts and community center
which would act as a catalyst for other commercial ventures in addition to other arts and cultural groups
to set up shop in Lower Manhattan.”
- Carl Weisbrod, Alliance for Downtown New York

“With your great record, this project couldn’t
have a better captain. The fact that this venture
will be self-sustaining and generate its own revenues
makes it particularly valuable to the downtown revitalization effort.”
- Alan Gerson, City Council Member, Chair of Lower Manhattan Re-Development

“The facility will meet a clear need in
downtown Manhattan for an arts/community venue…
We are encouraged by your vision to lead what
is certain to emerge as a new generation of cultural institutions in Lower Manhattan.”
- Matthew B. Wexler, Director, Grow America Fund

“The Art Exchange will make a significant
contribution to the redevelopment of Lower Manhattan
by bringing an important new cultural facility to our community. It will be a boon to nearby restaurants and businesses and will provide sophisticated, lively entertainment for the existing and new residents. “
-Julie Menin, President & Founder, Wall Street Rising
