THE BOREAL – New all ages venue

UPDATE: The Boreal surpassed its goal $3,500 with time to spare!

A much needed new venue has been proposed for Eugene: The Boreal will be an all-ages, DIY, collectively-run music and art space at 450 W. 3rd St. near Crux Rock Climbing Gym and REI. The venue will have a capacity for about 80 people, expects to host upwards of 10 shows a month and plans to open in January 2014. As The Boreal Kickstarter page stages:

“This sort of space is important because it provides a safe, drug and alcohol free environment where people of any age can enjoy and participate in music and art.”

Currently, The Boreal is about halfway to meeting their $3,500 fundraising goal with one week left for the Kickstarter (the Kickstarter closes Dec. 19). To find out more, visit The Boreal Kickstarter here and the facebook page here.
