From 1996-2006, the gallery at CAVE showed the work of over 300 artists becoming a locus for experimentation in all mediums. CAVE Gallery began in the mid-90’s as a venture of Shige Moriya along with other artists including Grande, and Naoki Iwakawa, and furthered by LEIMAY’s Co Director, Ximena Garnica. Fostered from an industrial rental, they transformed the 3,000 sq. ft. garage into a live-work space, which was considered to be one of the first recognized galleries of the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn.  Away from heavy commercial pressure, in an environment that supported exploration, artists were able to present their work during month-long exhibitions. In addition to studio arts, openings often included music and other kinds of performance.
