Relocation
In the late 1980s, the Collective was forced to move from its 52 White Street location (due to legal and financial issues related to the building's certificate of occupancy and the NYC building codes for motion picture theaters) to a new space across the street.

The last home of the Collective, at 41 White Street, is now The Flea Theater.
