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.\nAllied Productions facilitates community and communication between many different artists and organizations.
