It's hard to believe. We just celebrated our 4 year anniversary at the inn and we've been really ramping up events only to be blindsided by our tenancy being ended.
We really wish we could afford the whole building, it's actually very affordable. But... not for us. We just don't have the funds at this time.

While we definitely want to open up the collective, make a bigger coalition to uplift everyone through mutual effort, we also want to do it right, and we just didn't have the time before this all happened to have a bunch of people adding to the pot. It's something we're still working toward. We're not going to give up.
We know, because we've talked to so many of you, how many amazing creatives there are out here. We've seen your work, your original characters, your paintings, tattoos, drawings, comics, novels, sculptures, and costumes. We still want to make that space for all of you. And we will keep trying.

Currently, what's happened as detailed in the graphics below, is the building we're in, which has been empty save for us for a little over a year if memory serves, has fallen into such disrepair it must be repaired. Which means, they need us out to do so safely and with efficacy. But, we are not welcome to return to our unit as the inn's owner is no longer interested in leasing out the units individually as it isn't as profitable. We'd need to lease the whole building. About $2000 a month and a new contract and deposit. And we just don't have it.

We'll be breaking down our garden (the biggest tragedy in all this) and our little library.
We'll do one last hurrah in our last month (September) as we break things down, with sales and giveaways before we say goodbye to the unit we put so much time and love into.

We have a brand new gallery show opening in just 5 days at the Victor Valley Museum in Apple Valley!
We're so excited to have put this together with the curators as the museum and best of all, while our work is there, the museum will be hosting programming led by us here at Scribbles.
