FORT WORTH — The latest entry on the Metrognome Collective's website indicates that the owners have decided to abandon efforts to keep the 1518 East Lancaster location.
After much discussion and debate, Mission Co-op is going to discontinue operations and efforts at 1518 East Lancaster. Unfortunately we just don’t have the resources to make the location work for us. We will be trying to move everything out of the building by February 1.
Thank you all for attending our fund raiser at the Wreck Room earlier this month. We raised almost a thousand dollars, the bulk of which has been sent as a cashiers check to the IRS as part of our application for federal tax exemption. We expect to receive confirmation of our 501(c)3 status in the next few months. Once we have our legal ducks in a row, and have settled all of the details of moving out of our current building, we will be putting together a series of exciting fund raiser events at various sites around the Metroplex in the spring.
We will also be pursuing additional grants and other funding sources, to meet our goal of finding a new space somewhere in Fort Worth to continue operations. I continue to believe that we have shown ourselves to be a vital and viable force for promoting and assisting all types of artists over the last year, and i believe this is an opportunity for us to regroup and find a new location in a building and neighborhood better suited for our goal of providing a true community arts space.
