“Sounds from the Gallery” echoes in my mind. It is our first stop.

The Plaxall Gallery stands before us. It is more than just a gallery. It’s a testament to Long Island City’s evolution.

Once a warehouse, now a vibrant space for art and community. Plaxall Inc. generously donated this 12000 square foot space. Since opening in 2016, its impact has doubled each year.

But how did this transformation happen? It began with Plaxall. Plaxall is a prominent plastics company. It decided to lease the warehouse to artists for free.

Culture Lab LIC stepped in. It is a nonprofit that supports local artists. Culture Lab provides artists with a space. Here they can perform theater. They can showcase music and art.

Tana Sirois is Culture Lab’s Performing Arts Director. She emphasized its importance. Culture Lab supports artists through challenging times. It ensures art continues in LIC.

Edjo Wheeler co-founded the Plaxall Gallery. Now he serves as Executive Director of Culture Lab. Norma Homberg is the gallery director. She works as Exhibition Coordinator with LIC Artists.

Step inside the Plaxall Gallery. You will find three art galleries. Also, a 90-seat theater awaits. There is even an outdoor event space.

Look around. You might see an exhibition. Maybe “Molding a Community: The Plaxall Family Legacy”. It honors Plaxall’s history. It showcases Louis Pfohl’s innovation. He is Plaxall’s founder.

Original molds are on display. See equipment from the Plaxall factory. A short documentary captures Plaxall’s legacy. Steven Speliotis is the filmmaker.

Perhaps you will visit “The People Behind the Names: Black History in Queens”. This exhibition honors Black History Month. It spotlights individuals from The Queens Name Explorer.

The Plaxall Gallery also hosts events. There is “Nice One! Comedy”. You can enjoy stand-up comics in a unique setting. Or maybe you will attend “Hina Oikawa Short Songs”. It combines Japanese poetry with jazz.

The Plaxall Gallery is open. Visit Thursday and Friday from 5-9pm. Also, visit Saturday and Sunday from 2-10pm.

As we leave the Plaxall Gallery, remember its story. It shows how industrial spaces can evolve. They can meet the needs of changing times. The gallery preserves historical significance. It honors Plaxall’s contributions to Long Island City.
