We’ve put our hearts , and everything we had into building Our 3rd Space, a Queer & BPOC-owned community hub in Downtown Vancouver, WA. It’s become a home for small businesses, artists, creators, and anyone looking for a safe and welcoming place to connect.
​
We’ve hosted:
🎨 Pop-up markets supporting local makers
🤝 Mutual aid fairs
🎉 Family-friendly & adult-only events
🎭 Art shows, dance nights, workshops & more
​
We’ve said yes to just about every idea, because we believe in showing up for the community. But now we need help to keep a space like this going for more artists and creators in the Vancouver area
​
We're working to raise $6,000 the cost of one month’s rent to help us stay open and support the folks who rely on this space.
​
Here's how your support will be used:
🏠 $4,400 to cover overdue rent — We’ve fallen behind and need to catch up to keep our doors open.
🤲🏽 $1500 to support struggling small businesses — Some vendors haven’t been able to cover their full rent due to low sales.
🧰 $100 for basic supplies and maintenance — Just enough to keep the space clean, safe, and, usable for everyone.
​
We're not trying to grow. We're just trying to survive — and keep this beautiful, inclusive, creative space alive for those who need it most.
