WE WELCOME YOUR PROPOSALS! Mess Hall is a 700 sq. ft. storefront with capacity for about 50 in the heart of Rogers Park, Chicago. We’ve hosted art exhibits, worm composting, tofu making, seed exchanging and skill sharing workshops of all types. Our space is kinda small and not ideal for bands or live performances. But, hey, you’re a creative person, so maybe you have a fantastic idea and we can make it work, so think, plan, explain, propose… We review proposals once a month, so it may take us anywhere from 1-3 weeks to get back to you. Mess Hall is a commerce-free site. No money is exchanged here. No sales, passing of the hat or fund-raisers. Wondering why? Check out the “Mess Hall Texts” link on the right or the FAQ page on this blog.
