Welcome to TheArtFactory, a bustling hub of creators, filmmakers and entrepreneurs. Our campus is like a city-within-a-city; nearly 300,000 square feet of historic factory loft space on a 5-acre, 21-building campus, 12 miles from NYC on Interstate 80.

Visit during the day to meet our creatives, tour our galleries, and visit the Paterson Great Falls National Historic Park.

After hours and on weekends, our historic 180-year-old loft venues sing with the celebration of stylish weddings and milestone events - now managed by the Wedding Works Hospitality Group, a leader in event hosting - reshaping gatherings to ensure each occasion is personal, distinctive and unforgettable.

Please note that this page is exclusively for Art Factory Studios information. For event-related inquiries or feedback, please visit Wedding Works Hospitality Group.

Thank you for joining us on this exciting journey of transformation and creativity at Art Factory Studios.

Make a Day of it!

Walk through our gate straight into the Paterson Great Falls National Park or board one of our old-fashioned trolleys for the ultimate historical experience! Witness where George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and Lafayette paused for a picnic lunch during the Revolutionary War and be awed by the second-highest waterfall east of the Mississippi. The area is great for hiking, strolling, picnicking, and learning about the City of Paterson — the first planned industrial city in the United States founded by Alexander Hamilton himself!
