Venue Rental

 
 

Self Help Graphics & Art’s facility is typically open to all artists (visual, musical, performative), cultural organizers, community members and partners to host their own events/projects. However, in 2024 we are preparing for our building renovation and are unable to accept venue rental requests at this time. We are excited to provide a reinvigorated cultural art center in the near future to the community at large.

Please note that we will be gradually updating our rental fees to reflect current costs and recent upgrades. Please return to our venue rental page to inquire about using our space for your event beginning tentatively in January 2025. Consider supporting us in this endeavor by visiting our Capital Campaign page here.
