BEAF Buildings
Places define our work, it is where we make creative things happen from our pop-up events, our annual festival and our year-round creative projects. Some are managed by our community and business partners, like the three below, and some are gifted to us to create new locations for our creative projects. Each year we take over regular and new spaces for our festival. Search our directory for venues.
