<div>Well, this is one that has been brewing since the pandemic. For those that don't know during the pandemic I was streaming heavily on Twitch. One thing that came up during that time and even after was teaching people to produce. So we did a few production streams and to my surprise people loved it. On top of that I get asked often from peers and even strangers that would love to learn to dj. So this is the start of working towards acquiring a space to do just that in person. From teaching production to djing to providing a safe space for all age ranges and all experience levels. But I want the space to be even more that. I want it to be a space people can come to, to practice their set before their gigs, a space people can rent out and use for events and small gatherings where you won't have to worry about equipment or sound because it will already be there, a space for my creative people to host art galleries and talks. I want this space to be for the community. So I am raising funds that will go towards the space, equipment, sound and software. 

</div>

</div>

<div>I am excited and nervous but I am ready to provide something bigger to the community and I hope you'll be down to help ❤️
