Launch of the Silverton Powerhouse Kickstarter!

Here goes nothing! We have officially launched our first Kickstarter. This is a huge and important step for the trajectory of the Silverton Powerhouse. The founding artists of the Powerhouse have drained their bank accounts to keep the Powerhouse alive this year. The potential of turning the Powerhouse into a healthy business is astounding, however, we need money to renovated the building to make it warmer and therefore usable throughout the whole year.

Our goal is stout, but reasonable. Therefore, we greatly depend on your help to spread the word about this project. We have until April 2, 2023 to meet our goal of $19,437 dollars. Wowza!

Hi ________,

I hope you are doing well! I’m sharing a project with you that means a lot to me, and to the community of Silverton, Colorado. The Silverton Powerhouse is a reclaimed spaced in an old power transformer building. It has studio spaces for artists and makers, and is an excellent venue for live music, workshops, events, and other community engagement.

I believe there is great potential for this space to become a healthy, year-round business in Silverton that would benefit both the local economy, and the wellbeing of the Silverton community. They have launched a Kickstarter project and have until April 2nd to reach their goal of just under $20,000 for improvements to the building. Currently, this building is 40x50x30ft open-floor plan with no insulation at 9,470ft elevation. The building needs improvements to retain heat so that it is usable year-round, and therefore creates a steady source of income for the Powerhouse via studio rentals and event space rentals.

The Kickstarter is all or nothing. The project will only be funded if it reaches its goal by the deadline. This is an ambitious style of fundraising, but the Silverton Powerhouse is determined that this project is an asset to Silverton, and is something worth having big dreams about.

I hope you can find time to look over the Kickstarter page linked below, and consider backing this project. I am really excited about this project and I think it is a worthwhile investment.
