NIMBY

We are rolling out a campaign to make this move happen for NIMBY. The minimum amount of money we need for moving is $50,000. NIMBY must pay another $30,000 in rent to get up to the end of the lease. Then there are the NIMBY monthly expenses, the actual cost of moving itself, and development costs to get the new space set-up. All things considered $50,000 is a low ball number to get us started - but if we can raise that we know we can pull this off.

If 1,000 people donate $50 - we will reach our goal. Who remembers a Thanksgiving or a Christmas at NIMBY when you had nowhere else to go? An art piece created at NIMBY that gave you “one of those moments” on the playa? A time when Snook helped you with trucking, let you use his tools, gave you the part you were missing, fed you, or helped you out when you needed it? We only need 1,000 of you to step-up and donate. Snook and NIMBY have taken care of far more people than that over the past 5 years.

Download this flyer, post it on your blog, email to your friends, print it and give it to someone who will donate. And lets give props to Rachael for learning photoshop to bring you this flyer and Norville for making the NIMBY logo look so cool on fire.

A number of spaces have been looked at. There are two options, both in Oakland, that would work very well for NIMBY 2.0. The one we are most excited about is huge, has a ton of private outdoor space, loading docks, enough electricity to run anything and everything, and of course those high ceilings that let us build big stuff. Here is just a small glimpse of part of it. (Taken on a phone.)

This space presents a huge array of possibilities; permanent gallery space for large (and small) scale art, permanent performance space, and never-ending shop space and storage capacity. Our imaginations are working over time thinking of all the possibilities. Also, we get a new neighborhood to spruce up and make safe. Snook is already talking about how he wants to landscape the property along the street.

We are meeting with several City of Oakland officials to talk more about the NIMBY relocation later this week. This expansive, blank canvas of a property will be our focus as we move forward in the planning stages. We will continue looking at other properties both to keep our options open and because Rachael loves shopping - especially for big things.
