Industry City profiles Brooklyn’s favorite cafe and a radical free art school

Both the Brooklyn Navy Yard and Industry City say publicly that there is no competition between the two billion-dollar industry and technology campuses each being built up on different parts of the Brooklyn waterfront and each looking for large tenants to fill their huge new spaces.
Industry City profiled last week (via video interviews) two of its newer tenants: the Park Slope bakery Colson Patisserie and art and education space BHQFU.

Not at all similarly, the Navy Yard’s announced recently that the famous Russ and Daughter’s will anchor its new Building 77, which will be a public food hall and manufacturing space and Mast Chocolate will bring its bean to bar operation to its new Green Manufacturing Center. Those announcements were made subsequent to Industry City’s announcement that it would be the new host of Smorgasburg and Brooklyn Flea. So suffice it to say there will be no shortage of great food options at these two definitely not competing spaces.
Perhaps the most interesting tenant anywhere though is BHQFU.
It’s an open arts space that hosts free lectures every night and has been called New York’s free art school. Classes include: The Annihilation of Time and Space: Image Literacy in the 21st Century and Radical Pedagogy Working Group.
