UPDATE: 01/10/13 - PLEASE DO NOT CONTRIBUTEUnfortunately, due to issues with the space outside of our control, we can no longer run this campaign at the moment. We hope to have a new space up and running soon, and you will all be invited along. In the meantime, thank you so much for all your support. Anyone who has contributed will be refunded shortly.
DNA is a new community
multi-platform venue within the city centre of Glasgow. We recently
opened a building that had been sitting empty for 15 years, and over
the past few months have been using it to create an inclusive
community space for the people of Glasgow. A place to connect, to
create and share.
Why we need your help:
We wanted to reclaim a space to really support the people of
Glasgow. Over the last few months we've managed to have some really
great projects including a national campaign that supported
young creatives, pop up art galleries, gourmet insect pop up
restaurants (you read that right the first time!) fashion pop ups and
new business networking evenings on no budget. Thanks to volunteers
and the support of the local community we've been able to begin to
turn the space from an abandoned building site in to a functional
community space.
However to refurbish the space and open other rooms in the venue,
we need your support to help create a sustainable cultural hub within
the city centre. We want to make sure that there is somewhere the
people of Glasgow have real ownership of and really connect with the
venue.
With your help we'll be able to stay open – continuing to
support interesting local projects as well as open more rooms for
people to use. We want to be a key space as part of Glasgow's
cultural landscape.

Pennies and Pounds:
DNA is looking to raise £10,000 to keep our space open and
refurbish and open new spaces within the venue.
With your donations we'll be able to make DNA bigger and better
than ever before. DNA worked with some brilliant young creatives to
begin restoring the space over the Summer but there is still lots
more we want to do!
We have opened only a small part of DNA available for use and we
want to make sure that we can make it the best place possible.
Share, connect and spread:
With your support we can really open up what DNA is and create a
new community creative space in the city centre of Glasgow. Fancy
helping us out?
