Channeling the energy that once made New York the undisputed center of the arts universe, Culture Lab LIC invites you to their first Season Launch Party.
The 2026 season launch is your chance to step into a room where “the who’s who” hasn’t been decided yet. Inspired by a time when taxi drivers danced with debutantes, and Andy Warhol shared drinks with the future of pop art. We’re opening our doors, not only to the community but to the visionaries, the disruptors, and the next wave of the NYC art scene.
As we highlight our first major exhibitions of 2026—including the masterclass in contemporary tradition, Modern Ink, and the hyper-local historical deep-dive, Queens Women in Action—you’ll find yourself in conversation with the creators who are currently reshaping our cultural landscape.
Expect a vibrant mix of emerging artists from our residency programs, curators, and some of NYC’s creative elite. Enjoy beer, wine & specialty drinks at our cash bar before making your way to the dance floor to vibe to Culture Lab regulars and favorites, Os Clavelitos.
This is your opportunity to get a first look at our 2026 calendar of exhibitions, theater performances, live music, cultural festivals, and much more!
In a time where everyone is always looking for the “next big thing,” this is the room where it happens first. Dress to be seen (or to disappear), but don’t miss the chance to say you were there before the world caught on.
Free Admission (Donations welcome.)
