LAVA is one of the few all ages, accessible spaces in Philly. Consider chipping in some time this weekend to help them make some repairs and improvements to their space. Places like this exist because of community involvement. If you've gone to a show there or booked a show there, help out!
“Join LAVA for a much needed weekend of Spring Cleaning March 26th-29th! Despite much financial drama this winter (being robbed of thousands of dollars, pipes bursting, water damage through multiple floors) Lava is fortunate enough get some funding from the local Time Exchange program! We have about $2,000 worth of projects to get done this weekend so we need as many volunteers as possible, even an hour would help! A little overview of activities – Thursday (26th) volunteers can help do demolition and sorting/organizing work, Friday (27th) volunteers can help mend our exterior wall, Saturday (28th) volunteers can help us fix up our bathrooms and make them wheelchair accessible, and finally Sunday (29th) volunteers can help tie up loose ends of the many projects and help paint a mural that will face Lancaster Ave! We need folks that have experience in mending exterior walls, installing drywall, painting murals, doing demo work but we mostly just need people willing to learn and assist those who are coordinating these huge projects! Each day folks will be meeting up at Lava Space (4134 Lancaster Ave) at noon or earlier. There will be free food – and not just FNB scraps! Contact [email protected] if you have any questions.“
