Get Better Records launched a Kickstarter trying to raise funds to open a not-for-profit/all-ages/collectively run/safe/DIY music, performance, arts, gathering and creation space for Greenville, SC. The vision is to have a building where all people from this area would be allowed to create and showcase art while building lasting supportive relationships; whether it be circus performance, a practice space for a new band, a recording studio, a show space, screen printing space, a safe hang out for exchanging ideas or a meeting place for non-profit organizations . We want this to be a rad space where everyone is welcomed and everyone is accepted, but the safety of all is a priority.
