”Closest thing to Heaven!”
In August 2020, in response to the isolation and confinement of the Covid-19 Pandemic, six artists moved into 5,000 sq. feet of a bare historic warehouse on the banks of the Passaic River, just downstream from the Great Falls National Historic Site in downtown Paterson, NJ. We built a wood shop, bedrooms, bathrooms, a communal kitchen, and a professionally lit and sound-designed performance stage to create Prototype 237.
We have since grown our community to include 16 artists (including 5 Paterson Natives), added a 5,000 sq. ft. black box theater, a 5,000 sq. ft white-walled event and gallery space, and hosted over 350 performances, residencies, readings, and workshops of music, poetry, dance, theater, improvisation, and cinema, serving an audience of almost 4,000 people from New Jersey and the Northeast since 2020.
Prototype 237 is an experiment in creative co-living and community gathering. We draw inspiration from each other and our environment, harnessing that inspiration to make art, perform, and navigate life. Our residents and core community bring together their values, personalities, and skill sets to create an inclusive environment that is both enriching and productive. We exchange perspectives as much as creative processes.
Come hang with us. Come make with us. Come be with us.
