Dream scheme with me for a moment, won’t you? Bands, crafters, publishers, friends, think on this and then use the comments to share your thinkums: What would your ideal indie arts space be like? If Indyish could make a real-world homebase out of it’s rambly web art-itechture, what would it need to have to delight and enable you? If it could have limitless budget and endless rooms, what would you fill it with, how would you spend? What would make it a place you’d love to spend time in?
Hot tubs and hammocks? Stages and silk screens? I dunno, you tell me!
For one kind of inspiration, check out these Coworking spaces,
including the brand new one in Montreal, Station C…
hammock, fo sho.
a crummy old piano.
a soundproof module.
a used-clothing pile.
child-size colouring tables.
a graffiti wall.
a stovetop/community kitchen.
recording equipment.
a fortune-teller’s booth (did you know I can sort-of read tarot cards?).
an interfaith corner (read: Jesus-kitch, pagan alters, menorahs, hindu shrine…)
an old-skool radio.
a firepit. or at least an unlit, never-to-be-lit bonfire. around which we could sing songs and eat raw s’mores.
a gramaphone.
a dress-up box.
plants.
