[VIDEO] Life Inside a Singular Artists' Enclave in Brooklyn | "The Candy Factory"

2026-03-28T12:00:00-04:00

Nestled in Brooklyn, "The Candy Factory" is a fascinating artist enclave thriving thanks to the unconventional guidance of Ann Valentine. Originally purchasing the former confectionary factory in 1979, Ann has cultivated a unique microorganism of creativity, acting as a part-time landlady and part-time fairy godmother to the diverse group of artists who call this building home. Unlike many other studio spaces in the city, this community is defined by collaboration, support, and a genuinely loving atmosphere rather than strict financial metrics. With residents having stayed for decades, the building stands as a resilient testament to nurturing artistic passion amidst a rapidly changing city landscape.

The Lower East Side's Tenement Museum is one of New York City's more fascinating museums, giving you a peek into tenement life from the mid 19th to mid 20th centuries. Normally, the Tenement Museum doesn't allow photographs or video inside, but sometimes exceptions are made. Our friends at Curbed recently seized the opportunity to capture the inside of the museum, showing the apartment of Josephine Baldizzi Esposito, an Italian woman who grew up in the tenement in the early 1930s with her family.
