School of HONK is a free and open community music school, a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization, looking for a (big) place to make loud, joyful music (a la HONK! Festival) every Sunday afternoon 2 – 6 pm — somewhere near a public/commercial neighborhood with a built-in audience. We have limited means but can pay a weekly rental rate if we find the right place. Please read on!
Location:
* close to some public / commercial / neighborhood spaces with built-in neighborhood audience nearby for parading/performing
* easy car and public transit access
Availability:
* Sunday afternoon 2-6 pm
* no foreseeable noise issues with abutters for these hours
– preferably also available other weekday afternoons or evenings
Space:
* at least 120 person capacity
* at least 10 ft high ceiling
* storage (approximately 8’x8′, large closet or at least two large shelves); or proximity to Davis Square, where we currently have donated storage space
* separate break-out rooms
– prefer not too “live”/echoey a room
– prefer ground floor, handicap access
– prefer outdoor option as well on / near premises for warmer weather practices
Price:
– prefer free/donated, but would consider up to $250/wk, depending on above
