WTH is this?
What the heck is Heck.house?
Heck.house is a community-led, artsy 501c3 nonprofit organization. We aim to make art accessible to everyone and to keep art from being an expensive hobby. The general idea is that this will produce mental health benefits and foster community-building.
Heck is an old small house repurposed as an artsy venue designed for workshops, classes, meetups, and small, interactive events. We are primarily outdoors with a roomy pavilion and a spacious backyard lot. A small gallery with a kitchen and a wheelchair-accessible bathroom is located inside. Heck celebrates and welcomes alternative, experimental arts and encourages upcycled and repurposed arts. Heck is inclusive and often with a sense of humor.
How the heck does Heck.house support artists?
Mostly by providing a safe home for local arts. We are an affordable space for artists and other organizations. When you give us money for an event or buy art here, we often share over 50% of the funds with the artist(s). We actively provide photography and filming assistance for performers. We amplify our local artists and other local organizations on social media. We offer space for touring artists to camp out here to save on traveling expenses. We collect donations such as art supplies from neighbors and share them with artists. And much more.
