Having a good, solid roof is one of the most important aspects of any building, especially in Chicago with all the rain, snow, and wind we get! Unfortunately, with the most recent heavy summer rain, a section of the roof that already needs repair, collapsed. Thus, funds will go towards tearing down and repairing the current roof, installing pipes, vents, and gutters, and building it up to the roof of our dreams!

What makes 63rd House such a beautiful building are the brick exterior and windows on the front and back entrances. However, some detailed work is needed to restore this beauty into tip-top shape. Funds will go toward replacing steel lintels over masonry openings on front of the building and replacing all corroded lintels for windows on the back of the building.

Funds will go towards replacing blocked plumbing vent pipes and broken drain pipes, providing new copper water distribution piping throughout the building, and building new beautiful bathrooms!

Funds are needed for 63rd House’s electrical & mechanical system to ensure we can have great power (literally AND figuratively) to host events, pop-ups, galleries, and to operate our manufacturing studio, in line with our net-zero carbon-emissions goals!

We are going to have an amazing rooftop garden, lets make sure everyone can get up there and enjoy the view! Obviously, accessibility is core to our work and vision!

Everything from tables, chairs, and bookshelves to plants, rugs, and gallery walls for art!

Can't decide what cash fund to donate to? Donate here and it will be evenly distributed to all the needs of the building!

We are thrilled to launch three distinct, limited edition posters as part of @63rdHouse continued fundraising campaign! These posters will ONLY be available for the month of November and there will also be a limited quantity of each! Each poster will be listed for a $50 donation and above. Be sure to write your address in the notes section when checking out and posters will be shipped at the end of the month! Nida Syed (@needanida) was inspired by the wonderful services that 63rd House and Blue Tin Production Co-Op will be providing the community, so she created a poster to demonstrate these services being built by the community. She believes mutual aid and trust are inherent to the collective and are beautiful and uplifting. Thank you so much, Nida!

We’re excited to share another poster that can be yours! Each poster is limited edition and can only be bought the month of November!! These poster drops are part of this month’s fundraising campaign for @63rdhouse and getting started on the first phase of renovations. You can get this first poster designed by @zoeguttenplan! Each poster will be listed for a $50 donation and above. Be sure to write your address in the notes section when checking out and posters will be shipped at the end of the month! Zoe Guttenplan (@zoeguttenplan) believes thread is an extremely versatile medium, used to create, to mend, to tell stories, and more. She believes 63rd House will be a place of inspiration and nurture, and like the vines in her poster will grow and blossom and intertwine with the community. If you are interested in additional work of hers, please visit https://www.zoeguttenplan.com/

Here is yet another poster you can have in your home or gift to a friend! Funds for the first phase of renovations are urgently needed before winter (and the snow) take over Chicago. Join us today and you can get this poster designed by @jesseefish! Each poster will be listed for a $50 donation and above. Be sure to write your address in the notes section when checking out and posters will be shipped at the end of the month!Jessee Fish is a Chilean artist and designer currently living in Los Angeles, where she works as an art director and doula. As a previous resident of the Southside of Chicago, she's seen firsthand the way longstanding communities have been dissolved to prioritize corporate and institutional interests. This illustration seeks to highlight the wealth we can find in communal living, in controlling our own spaces, and ultimately building the worlds we wish to live in.

First things first, we need a cleared out space before we can build out our envisioned space! Funds will go towards clearing out all abandoned or degraded electrical, plumbing, mechanical equipment and removing all interior wall and ceiling finishes all the way down to underlying framing or structural components, prepping floors and repairing immediate needs for long-term structural safety.
