Withfriends works with hundreds of event Organizers, and we want to highlight some that really work especially hard to make their member communities so special.
Creating space for people to gather is one of the most important ingredients to community growth, and these are some that we like the most.
Current Space
An artist-run, member-supported gallery, studio, outdoor performance space, and bar in Baltimore, Maryland.
Mayday Space
Mayday Space is an organizing hub and neighborhood resource for arts, activism, and community events. We are collectively-run, curate social justice programming, and make our space available to grassroots groups at an affordable sliding-scale.
Felton Music Hall
Felton Music Hall brings an unrivaled live music experience. Music lovers of all genres can see both the best local talent or their favorite touring musicians all while enjoying fresh craft food and drinks served in-house.
Museum of Human Achievement
MoHA cultivates forward thinking new work, community, & vibe. We provide space to support artists & audiences in the creation of new ideas.
Rhizome DC
A nonprofit community arts space dedicated to promoting creativity as a force for personal empowerment and community engagement. We also strive to provide a home for non-mainstream programming in the DC area.
Red Emma’s
Worker cooperative radical bookstore and cafe, founded in 2004. We provide a platform for free events amplifying authors and social movements, while demonstrating that an economy without bosses is a practical alternative.
Ende Tymes
A festival dedicated to noise and experimental music, presenting hundreds of cutting-edge noise artists and experimental musicians over the years.
Wonderville
A bar, arcade, and event space in Brooklyn focused on showcasing independently-made arcade games.
Here is an (infinitely) incomplete list of community spaces we love; primarily art, music, or activist spaces, but also independent retail.
Some with membership programs, all of which worth a visit.
Are we missing any of your favorites? We’re on a mission to find every place running an awesome membership program (or that should be).
