ABC No Rio to close in June, re-open new location

According to the New York Times, ABC No Rio will close its current location in June. The building is being demolished for a new construction project which includes million dollar condos. ABC No Rio has stated that they will "go into exile," but plan to re-open at another location, which was described as an "environmentally friendly new structure where artists will continue to present the same type of boundary-pushing material that has become the center’s hallmark." You can view the plans for the new building here which will be located at Rivington street. ABC No Rio opened in 1980.
