ABC No Rio's building at 156 Rivington StreetThe renowned artist/activist space ABC No Rio made $1 million earlier this month, an anonymous donation toward their new facility at 156 Rivington Street in New York City’s Lower East Side.  Costs are now covered through the first stage, since $1.65 million in city funding rolled in earlier this year.  The wake has been held for the building, and a new structure will soon take its place.

Wow!!! This is fantastic news. ABC is my old stomping ground (I actually designed the logo) so it’s really heartening to know it’s going to live on for a lot longer thanks to this donation.
