The Arcane Workshop is not just a tabletop game and hobby store. It’s not just a DIY music venue. It’s a second home.

For almost 3 years, The Arcane Workshop has been a gathering place for gamers, artists, musicians, misfits, and magic makers of all kinds. It’s where campaigns begin, bands find their first stage, friendships are forged over dice rolls and deck builds, and community truly means something.

It is proudly queer affirming, disability friendly, and welcoming to people of color. In a world that doesn’t always make room for everyone, The Arcane Workshop does. It’s a space where people feel safe, seen, and celebrated.

Right now, they are facing financial hardship that will force them to close next month if they cannot raise the funds to stay open.

This fundraiser is their Hail Mary. A last effort to keep the lights on, the tables full, and the music playing.

The owners have poured everything into this space: their time, their energy, their savings, and most importantly, their love. They have shown up for their community again and again. Hosting events, supporting local artists and musicians, creating accessible space, and holding room for people who needed somewhere to belong.

If this place has ever meant something to you, please consider donating. If you can’t donate, sharing this truly helps.

Community built The Arcane Workshop. Community can save it.

We are not ready to lose this space.
