Experiential Spaces Are Getting Even Bigger
Briefly

Since 2016, Marco Boggio Sella has leveraged Brooklyn's commercial properties to create artist studios. With Manhattan's commercial space prices stabilizing post-COVID, he ventured into the city, acquiring a 1926 building for studio and exhibition space. He now oversees 16,000 square feet for artists and features a 40,000-square-foot exhibition showcasing diverse artworks. The trend of large immersive cultural experiences is evident as other companies, like Mercer Labs and Complete Playground, also secure significant space, indicating a potential saturation in the market for big cultural venues.
Sella runs 16,000 square feet of studio space and has newly opened a 40,000-square-foot exhibition of 173 paintings and sculptures, including sweaters by artist Sam Barsky.
The companies that sell culture and experience are now taking on such huge leases that we may be approaching a critical mass of big.
