Le Petit Versailles 2025 Programs

Allied Productions, Inc. is a not-for-profit arts umbrella organization founded in 1980. We are an entirely artist-run multi-purpose entity that fosters community building through the collective process. We present, produce, and sponsor all areas of the arts, including the activities of individuals, groups, and organizations. Allied is a vital resource for many projects and helps locate funds, materials and production space for underserved and marginalized communities.In the past, Allied helped give a start to pioneering non-profits like ABC No Rio. In the past two decades, our main project has been the development and maintenance of Le Petit Versailles Community Garden (LPV). Founded in 1995 as part of NYC’s Greenthumb Community Gardens, Allied invested years of work to transform what was formerly an abandoned lot left in the wake of a demolished auto body chop shop into an extraordinary community garden and multipurpose arts space. LPV is a focal point for artists and community members enhancing the public spaces of our neighborhood, Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Since its founding, Le Petit Versailles has been home to countless art exhibitions, performances, readings, film screenings, and more.Allied Productions facilitates community and communication between many different artists and organizations. Among our ongoing New York City organizational associates are The Film Makers Cooperative, Mix NYC, ABC No Rio, Rain Forest Relief, Gartenberg Media Enterprises, Inbred Hybrid Collective, and AIDS Data Treatment Network. Out-of-town affiliates include The Uptown Entertainment and Development Corporation (Philadelphia), Parasol Project (Tucson), and Frise Art Collective (Hamburg, Germany).
