Art Collective Uprooting Over Neighbors' Complaints

The group of artists known as Rubulad that has been throwing popular parties in a warehouse on Classon and Flushing since 2005 is looking for a new home following complaints from Hasidic neighbors, according to the Brooklyn Paper. The article says Orthodox neighbors have “complained about scantily costumed revelers,” so they’re looking for a more welcoming area to throw their parties. One of its founders says the complaints are overblown: “The people surrounding us felt really upset about ‘public nudity,’ which was actually just people wearing shorts.” The group has a Kickstarter campaign going to raise funds for the move to a new space.
