NIMBY is Moved
We made the move. It only took 40 semi-truck loads, 5 fork-lifts, countless volunteers and even more pizza - but the entirety of NIMBY has successfully relocated to it’s new Amelia Street home. The old space was emptied, stripped, and swept out by the December 31st deadline. NIMBY has once again shown that artists can do it on a deadline.
NIMBY could not have done it without the hundreds of people who donated money, sent emails, drove trucks, operated forklifts and brought by food for other volunteers. The show of community support has been incredible. Many people have already stopped by to check out the new space. If you have not seen it yet, come by and check out what you helped to make possible.
8410 Amelia Street, East Oakland
January is going to be a month of organzing containers, working with the City of Oakland for permits, and figuring out how to set up the new shop spaces. We have trash collection, power and internet getting hooked up this week. With the larger space the bills are going to be enourmous - so we want to get up and running as quickly as possible. If you have not given your support yet - we can still put your donation to very good use paying the bills while we get our “containers in a row.”
