Rental Tiers
Vox Populi has implemented a Tiered Price scale for our rental costs. These rates are provided on a sliding scale. We aim to support artists, nonprofits, and cultural organizers who may have limited budgets while also asking those that do have the means to pay our full rate to do so as this helps keep our venue accessible and enables us to continue hosting the diversity of programming that we pride ourselves in offering. We aim to support community, experimental, and independent events while maintaining fair staffing and space costs.
