if you're in Brooklyn, boshi's place is THE spot for weird arts/games. kick us some cash & you'll see it come back in the form of free gallery events, zine jams, & informational parties like "Games for Zohran" or "Spotify Unwrapped."

end of the first day, & we’re 35% funded. we had some generous donations right up front, but even small donations are helpful for funding boshi’s place.

if you’ve got a couple bucks, consider it!
