Artist Leah Dixon, Founder of Beverly's

from The Lo-Down Culture Cast · host Lo-Down

Host Traven Rice speaks with Leah Dixon, an artist and founder of Beverly's NYC, the artist-run bar and exhibition space which recently relocated to 297 Grand Street. Beverly's is an art world favorite that has been in the Lower East Side neighborhood since 2012. In spite of hurricanes and the disasters like the global pandemic, Leah and her community of creative collaborators have kept the space going. She told us about building everything in the bar herself, with a hand saw and lumber from the local shops in Chinatown, and how the boundaries between her own work as an artist and her work in the service industry have evaporated.
