Black & Tan Hall has made substantial progress with past fundraising efforts, totalling $2.5M. These funds were used to purchase the building at 5608 Rainier Ave S, complete required renovations to preserve the building and bring it up to code, and develop and produce arts and cultural programming with community partners.

Revenue and continued fundraising will allow B&TH, La Union Studio, and Len Can Construction to renovate the mezzanine and enter the next phase of the Hall: hosting a packed house to experience the creations of local artists, culturally-reflective food, and community! Longer term, B&TH aims to raise $3M over five years, including $1M to complete renovations, $1M supporting operating capital, $500K supporting the Good Jobs Fellowship, and $500K supporting artist residencies.
