Culture Catalysts
Perfect for those who want to financially underwrite specific programming
Allow groups in our community to use the space free of charge.
Make a donation in support of a specific cultural issue area, and we’ll ensure those funds allow groups within our community to book our space free of charge or significantly discounted. This allows your donation to support a wide cross-section of organizations in that field and ensure they have a permanent location downtown to regularly convene.
Examples of possible cultural issue areas you might want to support include:
- Community Engagement
- Health / Wellness
- Nature + Sustainability
- Justice + Equality
- Creative Placemaking
- Music / Audio / Podcast
- Visual (Photo + Video)
- Theatre / Improv
- Writing / Storytelling
- Dance
- Design
- Maker / Craft

Trustees
Perfect for individuals who want to regularly offer financial support
Help fund and vote on our monthly $1000 Awesome Grants.
Trustees donate $100/month and receive the following perks:
- Meet monthly to vote on projects to receive $1000
- 50% off one Evening rental per year
- Priority scheduling for booking events
- Premium swag, including a 3 Dots pull-over
If $100/month is too much, some of our trustees partner with a friend to each give $50/month.
Thanks to 3 Dots, I have gained a new level of excitement and an outlet for creative ways to engage and innovate in our community.
Becoming a trustee helped me participate directly in helping make State College and the Centre region a more caring, creative, fun place to live. Concrete action instead of just talk… refreshing!!!
Resident Organizations
Perfect for organizations who want a consistent presence downtown
Host regular events and use 3 Dots as one of their primary gathering spaces.
Some partners opt to host our space weekly during the Daytime (such as New Leaf hosting co-working sessions), while others organize consistent Evening programs (such as Centre Social Dance hosting weekly dance parties). Groups that consistently host at least 2 gatherings per month receive the following perks:
- 25% off all Daytime and Evening rentals
- Free storage space on-site in our utility room
- Priority scheduling for booking events
- Logo listed as a partner on our website and in the space
Centre Social Dance couldn’t imagine a more colorful and welcoming culture than 3 Dots. We can’t wait to come back home and dance on a regular basis!
Artists, Musicians & Creatives
Perfect for those who want to highlight their craft
Exhibit in our gallery
Artists looking to highlight their work in our galleries can apply for consideration. A panel of local artists reviews applicants for upcoming shows.

Whether for our open mic nights or to perform a solo piece for an upcoming event, sign up to be included in our database of musicians and performers.
Cook up a concoction
We love partnering with culinary artists and local food + drink vendors for events. Reach out to get on our list of culinary partners we share with renters.
3 Dots has given me an amazing opportunity to highlight my work and elevating me as an artist to a new level.
Curating musicians for 3 Dots events allows me to bring what I care about into the mix, which is highlighting local emerging artists! There’s no better place to get plugged into the creative scene in town…
