What the junk?
Junkyard Social Club is an intergenerational community space; where ideas and friends run wild.
- We are an ever-evolving, climbable discovery museum.
- We are a rebel art venue, maker studio, and adventure playground.
- We are a coffee house with craft beer and cocktails, where communities come together to unwind, to celebrate, and to hatch big plans.
- We are a low-or no-cost venue for artists, culture-keepers, changemakers, and educators who use our space to wreak positive havoc on the system.
Together, we build from nothing, reuse everything, and achieve great things from humble beginnings. We’re pro kids, pro adults, pro play. Our offerings are guided by the development of skills in divergent thinking: creative problem-solving and expression, curiosity, critical thinking, and open conversation. We want to connect new people, spark new ideas, and give our community the tools to create the world around them.
The Junkyard is fully non-profit and committed to putting quality of life above the bottom line.
