General inquiry for space usage – Ridgewood Commons

585 Woodward Avenue, Ridgewood, NY 11385

RidgewoodCommonsNYC@gmail.com

Ridgewood Commons is a Community Space with an emphasis on Mutual Aid. While we are not primarily a rental hall, we do rely on rentals to help cover rent and expenses so that the space can continue to serve the community.

Rental Rates

Rates generally range from $200–$500, depending on:

• Whether the event takes place during peak hours

• If other Ridgewood Commons projects can use the space at the same time

• The amount of set-up and rearrangement required

• The total duration of the event

Once terms are agreed upon, a $100 deposit is required to secure your booking.

Promotions & Liability
For liability reasons, all promotional materials must be reviewed by an admin before being shared publicly. Please send them to: RidgewoodCommonsNYC@gmail.com.

Other Uses
If you are not looking to rent the space for your own private or public event, you may instead be looking for our Programming Form or Film Screening Form.

Film Screening Proposal Form

Blurb

Ridgewood Commons shows films on Wednesday evenings from 7pm (usually starting at 7:30pm). If you are interested in screening a film, please tell us more about what you'd like to screen in this form.

RULES: No streaming. Please come with a high-resolution file for the film. You can either bring a laptop or use the computer in the space near the emergency exit if you bring an external hard drive with the file. The computer that lives in the space has an HDMI input, and we have an HDMI to USB-C adapter in the pink electronics cabinet near the computer. There is an HDMI cable hanging from the ceiling that is permanently attached to the projector.

If this is a foreign film, check that the subtitles are properly synced beforehand.

While we are a small community center and accordingly don't always go through official channels for obtaining rights, we don't want to take additional risks with early release material. If this is a recent film that has had very limited release, we request you make arrangement with the filmmaker.
