St. Ann's Warehouse, Performance venue in DUMBO, Brooklyn, United States
St. Ann's Warehouse is a performance venue in DUMBO, Brooklyn, housed in a former warehouse with flexible theater spaces and exposed brick walls. The building accommodates up to 1500 spectators and includes a public garden that provides shade in summer and wind protection during winter months.
The organization started in 1980 as Arts at St. Ann's in a church building before relocating to its current location in a converted tobacco warehouse in 2015. This move enabled the creation of a larger and more flexible performance space for diverse artistic disciplines.
The venue presents performances by established and emerging artists from around the world, including experimental works and musical events throughout the year. Visitors experience a mix of international talent and local artists in a space designed for creative expression.
Plan your visit by noting that the garden offers pleasant shade in summer, making it ideal for spending time before or after a performance. In winter, this same space provides wind protection, making outdoor areas more comfortable.
The building preserves the original walls of a 19th-century tobacco warehouse while functioning as a contemporary performance space. This blend of historic industrial structure and modern artistic use creates a venue where old warehouse architecture frames new creative work.
