We are planning to launch a non-profit arm of the Hybrid in early 2027 that will help fund scholarships. This will enable us to provide low barrier access as well as pay instructors and facilitators fairly.

Have you noticed lately how the Hybrid is evolving? Creativity and Community have always been our guiding values but lately we've been doing things a little differently. We have decided to offer Eugene something that's we've been told is missing - a warm and welcoming third space that's open often, climate controlled, and welcoming to all, particularly marginalized communities such as queer and neurodivergent folks.

What exactly do we offer? We have board games, a VHS player (and tapes!), art supplies, and friendly faces here ready to hang or body double with you on a regular basis! We host art and writing workshops, gatherings, opportunities to show and sell art, a performance space, a supportive, community-focused weekly open mic, peer support groups, book clubs. We also offer an affordable, accessible rentable gathering space for private parties or fundraising events for your favorite cause.

Most of our offerings are low cost, accessible, and/or sliding scale. What is sliding scale? Sliding scale is a tool used to offer access to goods and services at multiple price points so that financial resourcing is not the deciding factor for access. (If you'd like to learn more about how that works, here is a great resource: https://www.wortsandcunning.com/blog/sliding-scale )

Thank you for being here. The Hybrid quite literally wouldn't exist without you.
