The Nest is a Nonprofit 501(c)(3) community-oriented live music venue and event space in West Lafayette, Indiana. We started hosting shows in the Fall of 2023 out of our basement essentially by accident, and before we knew it our little home had become THE hub for our music scene and the source of so many treasured memories. Our audience of locals and Purdue students have come to see our venue as a key place for artists to find an audience, a third space to foster in-person community, and a hard-to-come-by safe place for queer folk and POC to be themselves. The Nest has always been for the Greater Lafayette community as a whole, and we want to keep it that way.

Now, we’re raising funds to open a brick and mortar venue, located in the Chauncey area of downtown West Lafayette, to further allow our community to grow and spread its wings! Specifically, we’re converting a warehouse into a performance space and need to fund construction for expanded bathrooms and ADA-compliant ramps. Every dollar we’ll receive goes toward funding this construction.

This sum of money is all that stands between us and a brand new landmark of our local music community and city. With the community's help and some hard work we can make this happen!

Anything helps! Spread the word! We love you!

The Nest is already here and part of our community, now we need your help to make sure it’ll grow and thrive for years to come!
