We believe in the spirit of a listening room, where audiences and artists share in the vibrations of creative exchange and, hopefully, experience a sense of transcendence and deeper connection. Our series of events aim to showcase a community rich with stories of all art forms, in the quest to thread the needle of our shared humanity, bring together disparate populations, and inspire a ripple effect of creativity beyond our own four walls.

Please note we are an unconventional arts venue in that we do not solicit booking and our space is completely community-programmed (either through community rentals or event proposals, the latter being exclusively offered for local acts). Due to the influx of messages we receive, we will not respond to emails requesting us to book solo music acts or review press kits. We kindly ask that any artists interested in performing at our space follow the proper protocol with the below forms.
