Blank Slate Phase 2: Coffee Shop *Bonus Round*

Help Build Blank Slate Elyria’s Coffee Shop!


Over the past few years Blank Slate Elyria has been many things to many people: A music venue hosting over 500 acts from around the country, An art gallery featuring 25 visual artists from all across Ohio, A community space for baby showers, storytelling series, and support groups. Together we have all built a diverse and vibrant community of artists and citizens thriving in downtown Elyria.


Today we would like to announce our plan to create a space within Blank Slate that would allow us to provide affordable, high quality coffee and espresso drinks both during shows and events as well as eventually on a permanent basis.

The plan is to begin by offering Coffee during shows and then, as we scale up, give the coffee shop permanent hours during which the space will be open as a café for people who want to read, work, or just get some good coffee. We believe that doing this will help maintain Blank Slate’s long term sustainability as a diverse community space as well as serve to expand our presence in the Elyria community.


Our original goal was to raise $2500 for help with permits, equipment costs, construction of a counter, etc.  Since we were able to meet our goal in less than a week, we figured we would keep this campaign up in hopes of being able to provide even better coffee, atmosphere, community events, sustainable cups, straws, and more.


We greatly appreciate any donations we get both large and small. Every little bit helps us reach our goal.


From the Blank Slate Elyria Team,

Thank You!
