This is a public facing calendar for programming inquiry purposes.
We only host one event a day and no more than two outside events a week.
While we support independent music, we typically do not book shows as an organization.
We are a small team. Please allow up to a week for a response.
To propose your event, fill out the Visible Records Inquiry Form
For a list of upcoming public events, visit The Common Space Calendar.

Visible Records hosts a range of events held by a variety of people, orgs, and artists.
Regular programming includes poetry critique, prisoner letter writing nights, gardening, music events, and film screenings.
We’ve also hosted memorial services, birthday parties, fundraisers, reading groups, community organizing, artist brunches and beyond.

Is there a diverse group of community members involved in the development and facilitation of the proposed programming?
Will the proposed programming serve or be accessible to a diverse community?
Are there other venues in town that are better suited and available to the programming being proposed?
Does the timing of the proposed programming conflict with our community in any way?
Do we have the capacity to support this event or are we (as staff) feeling overwhelmed?
