It's our RATiversary! We can hardly believe it, but it's been a year since we opened our doors! We are excited to celebrate this incredible achievement with you! Share a toast and a snack, enjoy the show, and help us make it to year two!

We believe that art thrives in community, and we are committed to fostering meaningful connections between artists, audiences, and our DUMBO neighbors. Our space is more than a venue; it’s a vibrant third space—a gathering place where people can come together, share ideas, and be inspired. Through diverse programming, collaborative projects, and a steadfast commitment to inclusivity, The RAT NYC strives to strengthen the cultural fabric of our city while supporting artists whose voices deserve to be heard.

Our goal is to not only support the creation of art but to cultivate a supportive community, ensuring that NYC remains a home for artists of all backgrounds and perspectives to thrive.

The RAT Turns 1 + Star Wars Day Drunk Texts Bash!

Celebrate one year of supporting independent artists!
