Experimental Sound and Art Space

Rules

As a mission-driven public charity, we rent our space on a case-by-case basis. We require that you do not use the space to endorse, fundraise, lobby, or promote or influence political candidates or causes. This agreement does not create a partnership or joint venture between you and our space – you may use our name in press and collateral materials for way finding purposes only. You will be solely responsible for all activities during the rental period, including setup, installation, sound checks, program flow, and cleanup. The rentable portion of our wheelchair accessible gallery space is 3,029 square feet. Four moveable walls allow for flexible spatial configurations, sound baffling, and an extra 64 feet of wall space. The gallery floor plan is available on this last page of this contract. Occupancy not to exceed 150 seated, 250 standing. Base rental rates include one non-technical representative in a supervisory role. If additional technical, security, or other personnel are required these contractors will be recommended and paid separately by the Renter on the day of the event. Rental periods begin upon load-in and end upon load-out. If the rental stretches beyond the agreed upon rental period delineated in this contract, overage charges will be collected after your event. Disparaging remarks, physical violence, and any activities that are deemed a significant liability will be grounds for immediate expulsion from the premises. These decisions will be made at the sole discretion of our staff and contractors. In such cases NO refunds shall be made. Use of our equipment and supplies is at the discretion of, and requires the permission and supervision of, our staff. This includes but is not limited to ladders, paint, paint tools, carts, expendables, drapes, chairs, table cloths, tables, chairs, etc. Should the Renter and/or designated representatives and vendors move any of our equipment, prior to or during an event, the Renter is responsible for returning equipment to its original position. Failure to do so will result in the deduction of additional hourly restoration charges from the event deposit or billed to the Renter. Our property (chairs, tables, projectors, etc.) may not be removed from the premises. Please be aware that the premises are located near residential units and neighborhood noise regulations apply. Sound will be kept below 85 decibels (dbc) and loitering outside is not permitted. Our staff has full authority to ask the Renter to turn the entertainment down or off. If repeated disturbances are created, we may expel the renter. In such cases no refunds shall be made. Installation of equipment, artwork, decorations, furniture, lighting, AV equipment, etc. requires advance written permission. Wall repair is difficult and costly: no nails, screws, staples, or penetrating items are to be used on walls or floors without prior approval. No glitter or confetti is allowed. Only low tack tape is allowed on floors and walls. Any damage will be charged after your event. Within two (2) hours following the event, you are required to return the space to the same condition in which it was found to avoid penalty charges. Special cleaning and trash pickup services should be scheduled in advance if deemed necessary.
