The beloved hub of music, art, and community hosts its final weekend before closing its doors — but its spirit is far from gone.
Huntington Village is preparing to say farewell to one of its most eclectic and beloved cultural spaces. Industry, located at 344 New York Avenue, will be closing its doors this weekend, marking the end of an era — but not the end of the story.
In a heartfelt message to the community, founder Zach announced that circumstances beyond their control are forcing the relocation of the venue. While the physical space will be lost, the essence of what Industry built over the past seven years — the art, the music, the memories — will live on and evolve.
From Flea Market to Cultural Movement
Industry began in 2018 as a quirky, offbeat flea market. But it quickly became something more. Curation gave way to creativity, and the space transformed into an organic collective of artists, musicians, dreamers, and doers. It became a stage, a gallery, a bar, a workshop — a living, breathing celebration of expression.
Art shows, concerts, live sketch nights, whiskey tastings, and dance parties helped fund the community and gave rise to a devoted membership of patrons who believed in supporting art for art’s sake. Through the pandemic and many challenges, the team behind Industry kept it alive through grit, imagination, and a love for what it had become.
A Community That Refused to Conform
Industry never fit neatly into a box — and that was the point. It was weird, wild, welcoming, and totally unique. It attracted everyone from seasoned artists to curious newcomers. It didn’t just host events; it made space for moments — real, raw, and unforgettable.
One Last Weekend to Celebrate
As Industry prepares to close this chapter, the team invites everyone to come out this weekend and give the space the sendoff it deserves. Whether you’ve been a loyal regular or have never stepped through the door, now’s the time to stop by, soak it all in, and say “see you later” — not goodbye.
The music will still play. The art will still inspire. The community will still thrive. Just not at 344 New York Avenue.
And if you’re already mourning the loss, don’t worry. You can still get a taste of the old energy next door at Ninnet’s, where the vibe lives on in a different form. Meanwhile, the original space will undergo a reimagining, set to return with new life in the weeks to come.
The End of a Location — Not a Legacy
Industry’s departure from its current home is not the end. It’s a transformation. Big plans are ahead, and the founders are already dreaming up what’s next. As Zach puts it, “Our spirit is infinite… This is not goodbye, but see you soon.”
So, recharge your batteries. Get excited. And this weekend, raise a glass to seven unforgettable years — and to whatever beautiful, chaotic, creative thing comes next.
Visit Industry this weekend and be part of the final celebration — because some places are just too rare to die.
