Looks like Scott Adkin’s, co-founder of Park Slope’s popular Brooklyn Writers Space, has something new up his sleeve. Room 58: A new space for writers at the Brooklyn Artists Gym. Check this out. I just got it in my email.

Down the Slope on the third floor of 168 7th
Street, BAG is a hub of creative
enterprise. In addition to a large, well-lit
studio with room for visual artists
to work at any given time, BAG offers a
newly renovated gallery space,
open figure drawing sessions and a variety of
workshops on subjects from beginning
bookbinding to accordion folds. The creative
energy at BAG is palpable, with exciting
possibilities for cross-pollination between
artists and writers.
                   

"For some of our writers, telephone work is
essential to what they do," says Scott
Adkins, co-founder of Park Slope’s popular
Brooklyn Writers Space (BWS) and partner in
the new Room 58/BAG venture. "BWS is a
great quiet environment for writers of all
genres. But for those writers who also need
traditional office capabilities, Room 58 is
ideal."
                   

In a corner of Brooklyn Artists Gym’s shared
studio space for visual artists is Room 58, a
new workspace designed specifically for
journalists and other research-based writers.
Behind the door marked 58 are actually two
rooms, an outer office area with desks, fax,
printer, research materials and file storage,
and an inner quiet room with eight individual
cubicles and a couple of nice views of
Manhattan.
