July 1st, 2009 marked the grand opening of new Studio/Showroom/Event Space–THE ARSENAL.  Launched by Brooklyn Royalty’s own Bob Bland, The Arsenal is aimed to be a space where local artisans can come to display their art, preview their new designs, execute a photo shoot, or most importantly–throw a great party!

On opening night, Bob put the space in perspective by bringing together a collective of talented local artists to display their works in an auction-style, fund-raising exhibit.  The event also featured the Endless Summer Taco Truck, frosty beverages courtesy of Pabst Blue Ribbon, and live music by indie rock sensation, Jeff Taylor.

Later this month (July 18/19), The Arsenal will be home to a trunk show for indie designers like Brooklyn Royalty.  Keep an eye on the website for all of the juicy details.

Congrats on the new space Bob, it’s genius!
