Gofundme link in bio. Support VILLAGE WORKS, a community oriented bookstore and gallery that sells books on NYC culture and provides gallery space for artists raised in NYC and the surrounding region or have had considerable impact on the city. The art and merchandise is primarily on or documents NYC. We are located at 12 St. Mark’s Place on a block that was either the birthplace of many music cultures including punk rock or an epicenter of such cultures as jazz, folk, rock, hip hop and house music.The founder, Joseph Sheridan has been active in NYC culture since moving to the city as an older teenager in 1983. From his Danceteria and Paradise Garage days to the promoter of the legendary Sunday party ‘CAFE con LECHE’ for most of the 1990’s. After overcoming many obstacles in his life he was able to fulfill his dream of opening a bookstore focused on NYC and NYC artists. Joseph was diagnosed with cancer in 2025 and though the cancer is remission he went into a three week coma on April 23 2026, a result of the treatments. He came out of the coma against all odds and is now receiving physical therapy at NYU Langone. After this near death experience his priorities have changed and he realized his two junior partners, Damian and Dominic Bielak were capable of eventually being at the helm of Village Works. These twins are homesick for the joy of growing up in pre-gentrified NYC. Their message through art and poetry isn’t against people moving here for their New York experience, but protecting those priced out and displaced from their communities. by @villageworksnyc
