“We need this in Sebastopol”

This is the sentiment shared by almost everyone who has walked through our doors.

Make it possible with your support today!

Laguna Lab is a 501(c)(3) non-profit cultural venue, media platform, and community campus in Sebastopol, California, on the edge of the Laguna de Santa Rosa. We support artists, makers, performers, and learners across all disciplines, ages, and backgrounds.

Our work is rooted in the belief that culture is public infrastructure. We operate at the intersection of art, music, design, movement, and technology to advance creative practice, strengthen community, and expand who gets access to both. Safety, inclusion, and belonging are foundational to everything we build.

Laguna Lab is an open vessel. A space designed to evolve alongside the communities it serves and the landscape it inhabits. Our purpose is to shift the cultural conditions of Sonoma County through bold, sustained, experimental programming.

Operational expenses

Commitment to updates: we will provide regular updates to donors on our progress and use of funds.

There are no overhead costs - no dilution of funds.

Please note that donations are NOT currently tax-deductible as our 501c3 is pending approval.

We chose Givebutter because their "platform fee" is optional - make sure you select "no tip" if you don't want to add fees. Please note there is still 2.9% credit card processing fee. To avoid the credit card fee, please email jonas@lagunalab.org for check/ACH details - your contribution will be logged here in the campaign.
