Turn Up the TURNTEMPLE!
Donation protected
The Turntemple is a mobile, multi turntable DJ classroom housed inside a moving truck. It is a place for DJs to share the art of Turntablism and Vinyl based DJing. THE TURNTEMPLE IS IN NEED OF REPAIRS in order to continue doing what we do!
“When you’re 15 years old, you’re too old to have a babysitter, yet you have a few hours unsupervised before your parents get home from work. This is the timeframe when lots of risky behaviour goes down: sex, drugs, violence, crime. Imagine the Turntemple pulling up to the high school parking lot, serving as a pop-up afterschool program, providing fine arts activities with an urban edge to youth at risk”
-Peter Poole, founder
During the school year, the Turntemple After-School Program is a literal vehicle for social work with youth on topics of resiliency. Your donation allows us to continue to provide this service!
During the summer, The Turntemple goes on tour as a sanctuary for DJs to share the art of Turntablism and Vinyl based DJing. Workshops for new DJs, professional development for veteran DJs. The Turntemple also serves as a jam spot for all star scratch sessions, rehearsal area for performing DJs, and graffiti wall for visual artists. The Turntemple is a museum of turntablism! Guest DJs include several world champion turntablists including Qbert, CRAZE, Vekked, Shiftee, Brace, Woody... the world's best DJs from A-skillz to Z-Trip!
Your donation keeps the art of turntablism alive!
