PREVIOUS FUNDRAISING MESSAGE
For anyone seeing this for the first time, below is our "story so far"

Our doors are on the verge of closing permanently at the end of May. This isn't a drill, your own inner-city living room is at a breaking point. For two years, this space has operated on pure heart and "magic by the skin of our teeth," but the weight of a commercial lease in today’s world has become impossible to carry alone. Either we double the space for more magic to unfold, which comes with DOUBLE the rent - or we fold.

We are at the finish line, and we might not cross it without your help.

We refuse to let this humming hub of creativity disappear into a "For Lease" sign, but we can't do it without a massive show of support. This "event" is our line in the sand.

Your presence is YOUR vote for our survival.

Tickets start at just $10.
* Every dollar goes directly toward keeping the doors open.

The time for "someday" is over. If you’ve ever found inspiration, connection, joy, hope ... here, if you believe in community-driven spaces, or if you just don't want to see another cultural landmark vanish—get your tickets now.

Don’t wait. By tomorrow, it might be too late. We ain't kidding, its all happening now.

We believe in the power of the collective. We need $25,000 to take the next step with confidence, and if you give us your spare change we reckon that will get us a long way.

  • Doing this as a ticket means we can throw you a party if we pull this off, or refund you if we don't.
  • The tickets are poker chip style e.g.$30 donation is 3x $10 tickets.
  • Gather is jumping on board and donating any fees (minus stripe) to us. We love them.
  • If you (or your friend's uncle's first cousin) have more than 5k to give us, get in touch. There are lots of possibilities for partnerships on the table.

We love you. We need you. We can do this.
