What a way to close out at Rocket Space! We sketched with BACONCAT, danced to DJ JasperPunk, AllHailPan, and DJ Fishnet, reminisced with photos from Mark Eshelman, Jimmy Anderson and Enos 🫶 and of course, cleaned up the space we’ve been so honored to occupy for the last year and a half.

If you want to help us with the move, head to tempeartsandmusic.org (link in bio!) to sign up and volunteer. We are so grateful to all of our amazing volunteers!

All photos by Mark Eshelman, Enos, and Jimmy Anderson.

We can’t wait for our next chapter on Apache. Stay tuned… 🩵

At Rocket Space we had:
💯 150 events!
🖼️ 24 exhibitions
🤝 And over 700 unique visual and performing artists, volunteers, and donors. 🩵 Thank you all!!!!! Can’t wait to see what we do next!
