The Insider experience will start at The Loft and Roofdeck on the top floor of SHOWFIELDS’ four-story building. The loft is an ever-changing space where community programming is held. From art workshops to yoga classes, pop-up concerts to comedy shows, and collaborative branded events, there’s always something new to engage with, learn about, and enjoy. The Loft includes a gorgeous rooftop space overlooking the Noho skyline, currently covered and heated for the winter. After a short mingling session in The Loft, guests on our Insiders tour will dive into House of SHOWFIELDS. After exploring The Loft, guests on our Insiders tour will dive into the House OF SHOWFIELDS (by literally taking a slide).

A short slide down to the second floor transports you into an immersive theatre experience that bridges art and retail. Here you will get to touch, smell, eat, and test all products and artwork onsite. House of SHOWFIELDS is a self-guided experience, but Insiders will have a personal guide who will share more in-depth knowledge on each art installation. Throughout the experience you will see work by artists like George Skoufas, Roses et Pivoines and Nat Girsberger, among others.

Don’t forget, SHOWFIELDS is a store, so after you test the products in House of SHOWFIELDS and emerge from the wonderful art installations, you get to shop! The Lab showcases all of the products found within the House of SHOWFIELDS experience. Beyond that, guests can explore two floors of pop up shops from direct-to-consumer brands. The brands at SHOWFIELDS include purveyors of home goods, apparel, tech, fitness, accessories and more. Each brand is set up in its own unique showroom.
If you are an Untapped New York Insider, you can experience the entirety of SHOWFIELDS at one of our special visits with the Showfields team leader on Sunday, February 16th and Sunday, February 23rd. Registration for those experiences opens today at noon!
