East Bay Community Space is a beautiful and inclusive venue available for public and private events, co-working, and community building.
The Main Space is ideal for performances, meetings, workshops, film screenings, and celebrations such as birthdays, baby showers, anniversaries, and wedding receptions.
The Telegraph Room works well for similar events in a more intimate setting.
The Meeting Room is an ideal space for meditation, yoga practice, bodywork/treatment sessions, and smaller group meetings.
Co-Working at EBCS is an affordable alternative for artists, activists, writers, entrepreneurs, and telecommuters looking for a comfortable and inclusive work space.
We also have unstructured periods when the space is open to everyone, under the guidance of a volunteer host. We call this Open Time. During these times, the Main Space is available for dance, personal yoga practice, or hanging out. Please contact us if you’d like to host Open Time, or if you’d like to volunteer.
The space is fully permitted, accessible, and built to modern codes. We have a wheelchair lift serving our second floor spaces, ADA-compliant access and all-gender restrooms. We are a scent-free and chemical-free environment.
We have created the Community Space in cooperation with others who share our vision of community. We hope you’ll join us!
