The Vault is a non-profit arts venue that was begun by Tone Bellizze (The Vault, when not being used for an event, doubles as Tone's house). The proceeds from the Vault events and the many other of Tone's projects goes to support the Hope for the Children Foundation, which serves children and young people in the most needy areas of the world.
The Vault, itself, is a non-smoking, non-alcohol venue (lets go out afterwards for all the debauchery we can muster) whose motto is "Fear No Art." Performers in all areas of the arts have graced the stage over the years, and the audience, made up mostly of loyal patrons, is always supportive and friendly.
Snacks and refreshments are available and also welcomed if you feel like contributing. A quarterly journal called "Soul Fountain" is published through The Vault, and which has appeared in Poet's Market.
Directions:
By car - Take the Grand Central Parkway to Francis Lewis Blvd south. Go about half a mile to Hillside Avenue, make a left and proceed about one mile to Springfield Blvd, make a right. Go three blocks or so to 90th Avenue and look for parking.
By Bus/public trans. - F train to 179th street, go to the street level (by the OTB) and take the Q1 bus to Springfield Blvd (I think the bus turns down Springfield) and get off at 90th Avenue. Walk across the street to the Vault.
Suggested donation: $5-10, but anything's acceptable.
