This is a public facing calendar for programming inquiry purposes.
We only host one event a day and no more than three 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 2 weeks for a response.
To propose your event, fill out the General Inquiry Form
To propose an UVA (or other University) affiliated event, fill out the University Program Inquiry Form

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?
