ABC No Rio
Formerly squatted cultural centre in New York City / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ABC No Rio is a collectively-run non-profit arts organization on New York City's Lower East Side.[1] It was founded in 1980 in a squat at 156 Rivington Street, following the eviction of the 1979–80 Real Estate Show. The centre featured an art gallery space, a zine library, a darkroom, a silkscreening studio, and public computer lab. In addition, it played host to a number of radical projects including weekly hardcore punk matinees and the city Food Not Bombs collective.
