Lemon Fundraiser
Donation protected
A “third place” is a term that refers to places where people spend time between home ('first' place) and work ('second' place). These are locations where we exchange ideas, have a good time, and build relationships.
Lemon is aspiring to be a creative sanctuary for music and art of all kinds. Conceived in a basement and showcased in an alleyway in the West Town neighborhood of Chicago, Lemon will be a place where people come together to enjoy performances and meticulously executed cocktails. Modeled after a jazz club with the soul of a come-as-you-are neighborhood haunt, and guided by our staunch DIY mentality, we maintain that everyone is welcome to create, contribute and share in our dream.
Back in Februrary we held a successful fundraising benefit at PALMHOUSE in Evanston, however not all of you were able to attend or participate.
Since that time we have signed a lease on our space for Lemon at 1600 W Grand in our home of West Town, Chicago!
In the spirit of giving everyone a chance to contribute to the opening of our space, we're opening this GoFundMe. With a beautiful long bar, intimate stage and a wall of windows, Lemon is going to add to the growing community of hospitality in West Town. And as a small bonus, the Sears Tower is visible from the stage.
We are raising additional funds to improve our space. Money raised here will go to things like:
- Build out work to create a more intimate space
- Acquire plush, comfortable bar stools you'll love sitting in
- Create a green room for the artists who will perform on our stage
- Build equipment behind the bar that will help us get those tasty drinks to you faster
- Improve the sounds sytem in the space
- Overall to just Lemonize everything (well almost everything) in the space
Donations at any level are appreciated, and will help us improve the space even more.
No raffles, sweepstakes, giveaways, or promotions are offered in exchange for any donations made to my GoFundMe.
Help us create a third space for you!
