Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Check the site for the next screening or exhibition and come along, or email the collective to ask where the next one is held..
You can just show up.
What to expect
The site does not describe a visit or give a venue address, so email the collective before you plan a trip. Everything shown is free to see.
