“If you evade suffering you also evade the chance of joy. Pleasure you may get, or pleasures, but you will not be fulfilled. You will not know what it is to come home.”
- Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia

Two years ago, many of us were brought together to establish a space for creating, socializing, and moving through and past merely 'surviving.' We believe that the bonds forged through struggle, through art, and through music can help us unite to overcome the systemic obstacles that prevent all of us from living in a better world.
Our goals are:
Create a collectively-owned, multi-use space as the foundation for overcoming alienation in our region
Act as an outpost for people to express themselves, feel at home, and share with each other
Create strong bonds with like-minded spaces, organizations, and people, with whom we can share in both our struggles and successes
