ABC No Rio is a collectively-run nonprofit arts organization on New York City's Lower East Side.[1] Founded in 1980 in a squat at 156 Rivington Street, following the eviction of the 1979–80 Real Estate Show, the center featured an art gallery space, a zine library, a darkroom, a silkscreening studio, and public computer lab. In addition, it played host to a number of radical projects including weekly hardcore punk matinees and the city Food Not Bombs collective.
In July 2016, ABC No Rio vacated the Rivington Street building in advance of demolition and construction of a new facility on the same site for its programs, projects and operations, including the silkscreen studio, zine library, art exhibitions and music shows.
On July 16 2024, ABC No Rio broke ground on their new building-a four-story art center located at their original Rivington Street location.[2] The projected completion date is January 2026.[3]
