Update #3: Thank You to everyone, we are over 100% !
Yes, we are over 100% !. A huge Thank You to all who have made pledges on Kickstarter and those who have donated directly to NIMBY. We understand how important this support is and wish to express our sincere appreciation for your continued support. NIMBY is working diligently towards compliance and your support is what is making this arduous journey possible. The new year will start with more trips to City Hall where we are finally seeing progress. We will keep posting progress reports to our website, www.nimbyspace.org as well as sending out updates to our mailing list. If you have not signed up for the NIMBY mailing list please take a couple of minutes and do so on our website.
Again, Thank You for your support, you are helping ensure the future of NIMBY,
Sincerely,
The entire NIMBY Team.
Update #2: Your support is greatly appreciated, and needed, tell your friends!
Now that we have overcome a large set of major roadblocks and hurdles, we are staring down a huge pile of bills from the City of Oakland. While NIMBY is financially sound as an art space - we need the greater community to once again step up and help us through this crunch. NIMBY is setting many precedents for art spaces, not just in Oakland but everywhere. We are dotting every i and crossing every t, creating a solid foundation for future art spaces to build upon. While this is costing many thousands of dollars it will pave a road that others may follow: it truly is a community effort. Your continued support is needed as this battle is not over yet.

Update #1: Rockin' Start For Day One
This is the first project we have posted to Kickstarter - and it is a BIG ONE. So far we are really excited about the response. Thanks for all of your support. We are twittering, facebooking, and pinging away in the office here at NIMBY letting our friends know what we are up to - please pass the word along.

Michael Snook founded NIMBY with no initial investment in April of 2004. His hard work and dedication have built not only a functional facility, but also a reputation for steady and levelheaded leadership in the Bay Area art community. There is hardly a major work at the Burning Man festival that has not benefited from Snookʼs knowledge, resources and assistance. His extensive connections in the construction and shipping industry have enabled the procurement of materials and resources making impossible purchases affordable. Before founding and running NIMBY he was a property manager and construction superintendant for over 20 years.
RIGHT ON. Your tenacity is inspiring.
With the close of Ace Auto Wrecking so few places remain in the Bay Area were a traveler can go and except to find friends. NIMBY in all its incarnations has always welcomed me and so I am happy to know that my small contribution among many others keeps the doors open. Congratulations Snook and crew from friends in Portland and the great northwest
Nice going Michael & crew. Looking forward to a visit on my next trip to the Bay.
