Can I book space for someone else?
Short answer: No
Long answer: If you’d like to book space for someone who has also gone through our registration process and signed a contract with us, you can email us at space@fabnyc.org to ensure their name is on the rental. Whoever made the reservation through our booking system must be on site for the duration of the rental unless you have emailed us in advance to add an additional name of someone registered in our program.
When can we contact Space @ 70 about rentals or rental questions?
Any time! Please email space@fabnyc.org at your convenience. But we only monitor this email 10am to 5pm, Monday to Thursday. If you contact us outside of these hours, we will get back to you when we are back in the office.
Accessing Your Studio Space
I’m here for rehearsal!
When you are here, we ask that you buzz the 3rd floor of 70 East 4th Street and wait to be taken to your studio. You may arrive 5-10 minutes early to ensure you get to your studio on time. We ask that you do not go to the studios yourself and always check in with a FAB staff member at the start of all your rehearsals.
Please note! Studios can only be accessed when the renter named on the reservation is present — and that renter must be on site for the duration of the rental unless you have emailed us in advance to add an additional name of someone registered in our program.
Running Late?
Please kindly email us at space@fabnyc.org.
Please note! we schedule our staff to be available at the start times of rentals until 10 minutes past the hour so we cannot guarantee they will be immediately available if you are delayed more than 10 minutes.
No Shows
…are never cool. Failure to show up for your rehearsal without a note via an email will result in a strike. We have a three strike policy before you risk losing access to booking.
