About
What is NIMBY?
A place to create the impossible, the new, the ridiculous, the exiting and most importantly, the never seen before. It is the largest do-it-yourself industrial art space in the Bay Area with over 40 different art groups and craftsmen in the shop.
NIMBY not only offers space to create, but supports its artists with resources, assistance in sourcing re-purposed material, as well as logistical and technical guidance. This supportive culture shared by all members of the NIMBY community is at the root of the amazing art that emerges from its doors. NIMBY is the hub for creativity that boggles the mind and fosters community values that encourage collaboration and
innovation.
There are no sidelines at NIMBY. It’s all hands on deck!

Meet the Maker - Mr. Snook
Just found out about NIMBY in today’s Oakland Trib. Excited about possibilities for a project that I
have been envisioning for awhile. I want to build a solar-powered electric vehicle. Plans right now
involve taking an electric golf cart and adding solar panels. Need workshop space to build it and a
little outdoor space to test it. Maybe NIMBY is the place for this project. Hope so. Will Galeson
