As you may know, running an independent arts space is not always easy or sustainable. Especially in today’s reality, creative places that are founded to foster community and uphold DIY ethics are increasingly vulnerable to gentrification, capitalism, and fascism.

We are quite lucky that Random Sample is not at the mercy of landlords, investors, or government stipulations for our funding and operations. That being said, everything we have done so far has been a labor of love and an investment in this process of building something that we think our city deserves. While we aren’t going anywhere, it is our goal to figure out the best way to break even on the costs involved with keeping things going like paying our staff and artists fairly for all of the work they do.

If you are interested in supporting us in our endeavors, please consider signing up for one of these three membership programs. As a token of our appreciation, those who give monthly/annually can receive all sorts of perks such as access to hidden content, physical ephemera, and even free merch and discounts on ticketed events.
