Shed resident Cheyenne Hohman is wrapping up her time here with us. Join her to celebrate the release of her new zine about DIY Zine Libraries!
Zine Release: DIY Zine Libraries
Southern Dinner: Vegetarianized versions of stuff I eat back home in Kentucky
& Post-Apocalyptic Dance Party: Proper attire encouraged.
Welcome to Liz Groeneveld, our shed resident from May 9-22!
We've been active in the little red house on Roberts Street for the last six years, supporting critical, creative projects and collaborating with other groups and projects. We are run entirely by volunteers and have no consistent government funding. We exist entirely off donations from our community, and keep it going by keeping our costs low.

We're having a fundraising week May 7 - 14. Want to help out? You can host your own event or help with another one. Some ideas we've had so far: yard sale, art auction, scavenger hunt, performances, workshops and more.
Here's a time and space for you to get creative and work on personal projects or collaborate with other crafty folks. You can make zines, stencil, knit, sew, glue or whatever else your heart desires.
Wed. Feb. 2, 7pm
It's winter, and Roberts Street Social Centre is guaranteed warm. In the cutest warmest room, the Popular Education lecture series is starting up again.

All welcome! Come to our general meeting to find out how to get involved at Roberts Street. If you would like to propose an event or project, email info@robertsstreet.org to be put on the agenda.
We are now accepting applications for our residency program. We are interested in proposals for projects that embody the same sort of do-it-yourself spirit as the Social Centre, and that contribute in some way to the community and/or the space. See more on the Residency page.

Dinner and a Movie is a social way to share tasty food and watch great films. On Sunday evenings you can eat a home cooked meal prepared by volunteer chefs, and then watch a movie that they've chosen to complement the food (or maybe the other way around).
Anchor Archive open hours on Tuesdays have changed to 6-8 pm for the duration of the winter. Ink Storm open hours have not changed: they will remain 6-9 pm on Tuesdays. Sunday hours will remain 2-5 pm for both the Anchor Archive and Ink Storm.
