The Drift Collective is home to more than 65 local artists, makers, and small businesses, providing a place to sell their work, connect with the community, and earn a fair return for what they create. More than a gathering space in downtown Ashland, the Drift exists to support others. Since opening our doors late November of 2024, we've paid out over $400,000 to vendors and created a place built on community first, collaboration over competition, and fair compensation over extraction.

As we prepare to leave our current location at the end of our lease, we're raising $50,000 to help us transition into a new home base and continue serving our community. These funds will cover the essential costs of relocating—including rent and deposits, moving and storage, permits and licensing, renovations, equipment, and the legal and financial support needed as we begin transitioning The Drift into a community-centered cooperative business model.

Every contribution helps us keep this vision alive and move one step closer to opening our next chapter.

Thank you for your support!
