Push/Pull

Who We Are

Push/Pull is hard to define. It usually comes down to "art space," but we're an art gallery, an art store, a supply store, an educational space, a gathering space. We're a cooperative business with a nonprofit programming division.

Our mission is to support creativity and curiosity in our community. 

We want to promote underground art and comics; foster community between those creating and viewing art; encourage emerging artists, illustrators, and cartoonists; innovate on the way art is consumed by presenting it in a unique environment with nontraditional events; and stimulate diversity by actively seeking out marginalized and under-represented artists.

Goal

The goal amount of $10,000 allows us to cover about a year of free events, including holding space for bimonthly queer artist meetups, monthly peer critique, poet & casual artist meetups and work sessions, and more! It also allows us to provide a number of full or partial scholarships for classes, and run our free teen art program.

The more we're able to raise, the more scholarship opportunities and expanded programming we're able to provide!

Push/Pull is fiscally sponsored by Allied Arts Foundation, a tax-exempt organization. 

Recognition

Push/Pull wouldn't be possible without our hardworking members that keep us going.
