For the past two and a half years, Littlefield, the performance and art space inside a sustainable building in the Gowanus, has provided an expansive calendar of curated events for the community from craft fairs to art exhibits to independent music shows. offManhattan spoke with co-owner Julie Kim about the space, their cultural calendar and where she frequents when she\u2019s not managing her piece of cultural real estate off the canal in Brooklyn.

\n\"Littlefield

oM:<\/strong> How do you simultaneously curate culture and filter events so that you\u2019re offering quality programming?
\nJK:<\/strong> “We have a great booking staff\u2014including Jack \u201cSkippy\u201d McFadden\u2014who is in the industry, established nationally and in the community. We have Sergio Pizzo Barrale, who is our resident artist and co-curator of artwork. The murals on the walls are created by him and he always makes a good point when reviewing submissions that ‘You want to look at something beautiful and ask, is it thought provoking, forward thinking, does it make you ask questions?'”<\/p>\n

\"Glass

oM:<\/strong> Can you speak about the importance of collaboration to the success of an event space like Littlefield?
\nJK:<\/strong> “We deliberately came into a neighborhood that wanted to be a neighborhood. So, our goals align with the community. We are a work in progress; we\u2019re always trying to work with new people and we want to make local businesses and the people here in the community better. We like to keep our calendar diverse, so working with Overflow magazine and local DJ groups helps us to boost their events and they bring light to our space.”<\/p>\n
