DESCRIPTION

Located in Chelsea Market in the heart of Manhattan, YouTube Space New York (NY) is a 20,000 square foot collaborative facility that is available to YouTube creators at no cost. The space acts as an incubator, giving YouTube creators tools and guidance to remove barriers and enable them to innovate and experiment.

At the YouTube Space, creators can learn from industry experts, connect with fellow YouTube creators and share ideas over a coffee, and use the latest equipment to create their next great video. YouTube has also opened Spaces in London, Los Angeles and Tokyo.

YouTube Space NY houses areas for creative collaboration; teaching facilities for training programs and master classes; loaner production equipment such as cameras, lights, boom microphones, and more; permanent and rotating sets; 3 enclosed sound stages; and state-of-the-art post-production facilities. Unique to the New York Space, it also includes a BrandLab, a Google-led brand innovation facility that hosts workshops for advertisers.
