The gallery has large windows which can be seen from the street and1,760 linear inches of exhibition space with 19 foot ceilings. The space is easily accessible as it is two blocks away from the Halsey L train station. The mission of the Box Factory Gallery is to provide a platform for emerging artists, curators and collectors to collaborate, network and expand their careers. 

The gallery is in the lobby of The Box Factory, an arts, media and entertainment building located on the border of Bushwick and Ridgewood. The building houses a wide variety of creative businesses such as Pirate Music Studios, CBS Media, Grand Central Atelier MFA program, 3DEN co-work space and two event rental spaces.
