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.

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.
