Cool place that has a way bigger than Erie city vibe. Events here are worth checking out even if you aren’t artsy

I had the honor of photographing an intimate wedding and a fashion show at 1020 Collective. Sarah and Rick are the kindest people who are dedicated to building a thriving art community, and their industrial loft provides a unique location for artists, events and weddings. The natural light in the second floor is a photographer's dream, and the loft style with it's high ceilings and exposed brick and beams juxtaposed against the visual art is perfect for anyone looking for a venue that's both elegant and artistic. If you're looking for big city vibes with an industrial feel 1020 Collective is THAT space!

The 1020 Collective was such a fun venue to host my sister‘s bridal shower at! They were super accommodating and helped me throughout the whole thing. I was emailing with Sarah, and I sent her my layout and she had their event planner, Steve set up tables. He was there throughout the entire event to help if needed. This team is super appreciated! The venue is aesthetically pleasing and the exposed brick walls make for a pretty event even before setting up the decorations. I highly recommend booking this venue!!

I was there to see an art opening and also check out the space, as a fellow artist. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. There was a local food truck providing food inside, which smelled delicious but sadly I was unable to enjoy due to my dietary restrictions. The in house artists at the greeters table showing off some of their art, were very friendly and informative. The art represented on the table and on the walls was very intriguing and provoked alot of feelings and I was able to engage easily with some artists. I will definitely return.

Absolutely fantastic! The Edgar Allen Poe Speakeasy performed. The actors did a great job! The atmosphere was perfectly frightening, and the drinks were delicious. The service was unparalleled. It was my first time at the 1020 Collective. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend going there.

Beautiful blank slate venue. I recently hosted my little sister’s Bridal Shower and we had the best time. Looking forward to the upcoming Fae Soirée!
