The Shed is a new cultural institution of and for the 21st century. We produce and welcome innovative art and ideas, across all forms of creativity, to build a shared understanding of our rapidly changing world and a more equitable society.
In our highly adaptable building on Manhattan’s west side, The Shed brings together established and emerging artists to create new work in fields ranging from pop to classical music, painting to digital media, theater to literature, and sculpture to dance. We seek opportunities to collaborate with cultural peers and community organizations, work with like-minded partners, and provide unique spaces for private events.
The Shed was designed to break with the traditions that separate art forms and audiences. By minimizing social and economic barriers to entry, we offer a warm, welcoming space for innovation and dialogue. Embracing technology, we work with creative thinkers and partners to create transformational digital experiences on-site and online. Using our flexible infrastructure and operational capabilities, we can produce performances, exhibitions, events, and gatherings of almost any type in expansive, multiuse venues that allow for social distancing. Driven by our belief that access to new art and ideas is a right, not a privilege, we present engaging experiences and forge deep bonds between our artists and audiences.
As an independent nonprofit that values invention, equity, and generosity, we are committed to advancing art forms, addressing the urgent issues of our time, and making our work impactful, sustainable, and relevant to the local community, the cultural sector, New York City, and beyond.

At QuadFi, we are building the future of banking: a borderless financial institution for newcomers, where your future counts more than your past.
QuadFi is the only global fintech company dedicated to providing newcomers with access to fair and convenient financial products. By shifting the traditional focus from historical data to a forward-looking approach, where the newcomer’s prospects in their new country become the primary source of assessment, QuadFi is fundamentally revolutionizing how newcomers are able to access to credit related products.
Using alternative data and international credit histories, our AI/ML models deliver an accurate assessment of newcomer’s credit risk. This allows us to offer these neglected customer segments the affordable financial products that they deserve. We know this, because we’ve proven it, through modeling, training, and live performance.
Our vision is providing financial access to all newcomers across the globe, while our mission is to create financial inclusion by making the credit invisible, visible. QuadFi, a Certified B Corporation, generates meaningful and measurable social impact for customers and our broader community. Founded by first-generation immigrants, we are based in Toronto, Canada, and operate at the intersection of global migration, financial, and personal data.
