The Lair has officially closed.

We would like to thank everyone who contributed to making it a creative and distinctive space over the past year.

Following assessments by the Fire and Building departments, significant upgrades were identified as necessary for continued operation. Because The Lair operated in a rented building, some of those improvements were beyond our control and means as tenants. To keep everyone safe, we made the difficult decision to say farewell to this location.

It’s hard to say goodbye to a place that held so much creativity, connection, and care. We’re deeply grateful to everyone who helped make it what it was. Please continue to support these amazing organizers, artists and creatives.
