Cause for celebration!
Thanks to our generous backers, we have reached our $12,000 goal with 3 days left. It's a very good thing too, because we actually planned a “Finish Line” celebration for you this Saturday, just a little in advance of our ultimate deadline. It would have been pretty stressful to not make it by then. Anyhow, we really hope you can come! Backers at $25 and over will receive free entrance and drink tickets. Beer has been lovingly provided by Brooklyn Brewery.
For those who planned to donate, or just discovered the project and want to contribute now, there is no reason to hesitate. Anyone who has done renovation knows that costs quickly add up. We will need additional funds if we want HVAC and other fundamentals that will make UnionDocs work for the next 10 years. Great rewards remain!

Simultaneously, we will launch a 9 day project next door at 306 Union called Looking at Los Sures: Organizing Space. It's a video installation on the glass of a large storefront and an ongoing workshop. Above is a picture of the space being set up as we set up.
