A sort-of annual invitation from Mark Allen, the guy who started Machine Project:
“Hey you! Have you ever thought about starting your own art/music/literary/performance/whatever space? Why not? Los Angeles is a rich environment for creating low cost, grassroots venues of all kinds. Based on my experience with starting Machine Project and a couple of previous (even more low end) artist run spaces, I will answer questions, give advice, and provide an overview on the basics of starting your own cultural venue in this free informal workshop.
If this is something you are interested in attending, please email machine@machineproject.com after you’ve registered with whatever questions you have, so I can prepare to be as useful as possible. Space will be limited to those who register ahead of time, unless no one signs up, in which case I’ll talk to whoever walks through the door.
best,
Mark
Please note! This event is extremely popular. Please make sure you can attend before registering. If, between now and May 3rd you find out you’ve advanced to the air guitar finals in Germany and the competition is that day, just make sure to let us know ahead of time so we can give your space to someone else.
