the space

4810 NE Garfield

1,495 sq/ft of commercial warehouse space
(the same building as Bike Farm and Emerald Forest Herbarium)

Has been operating as the Variant and used as headquarters for B Media, a general community gathering space for workshops and a venue that hosted various events like: open mics, dance parties, and underground gameshow nights. We hope to transform it into a multi-purpose community art space/think-tank.

It has a stage with a piano, lighting and projector screen, built-in bar and kitchenette, bathroom with utility sink and shower and plenty of room for art studio/storage space.
