Event Location

Highest priority right now is to determine a location for the event in November (tentatively Friday, November 6th). We have some ideas, but we need more. We need a place that will hold at least 500 people. Here's some locations we've been looking into:
  • Phoenix Art Museum
  • Tempe Center for the Arts
  • Icehouse - Downtown Phoenix
  • Cherry Lounge - Tempe

    Tempe Center for the arts seems like a good fit, its theater fits 600 people. Its stage is a good size, I dont think we want to have to squeez on a stage.
    Info- $1080-$1350 for the theater
    25% deposit.

    Tempe Marketplace has an outside stage. It's right in front of Dave and Buster's and a bunch of other clubs. It would be very difficult to manage tickets, but it might be a good place to draw a crowd.

    I'm def partial to a Phoenix Art Museum, Arizona Science Center, or Tempe/Mesa Center for the arts venue.

    - Pros to downtown locations: can correspond to First Friday event...draws larger crowds (in target audience) who will already be in location. I don't see a conflict of interest here.

    - Other locations: Stand alone evets, will need to draw crowd on our own.

    - Either way, I don't see this event as being held on a stage, but rather in the round...and in a place that sets the stage for an experssion of art
