February to April 2013

The Discussion Den is open for use by anyone for the purposes of private meetings, private discussions, public discussions, reading groups, or any other form of use you’d like to propose. Since the Whippersnapper is 11x11ft, we only have seating for up to 15 people.

We are opening up this space up for use by the public in order to encourage people to have discussions on topics that are important to them. We hope that the small, informal environment will encourage facilitators and participants to feel more comfortable in an intimate atmosphere in order to ask ambitious questions, and have challenging conversations. For public discussions or reading groups, we suggest taking RSVP’s so that people aren’t left out in the cold due to lack of space. We are open to any other strategies or formats you’d like to propose.

The Discussion Den is a space, not a curated program. Whippersnapper is making this space available because we are lacking funding to be able to support artist fees for our regular programming. We don’t want our space to go to waste while we raise funds for future programs. We regret that we are unable to supply a budget/fee to the facilitators of public events. We will however, support facilitators of public events in asking for PWYC contributions from participants, the entirety of which would go to the facilitator.
