STEEF, ALEX ABEL, BIG BILL, AND SWIMWEAR DEPARTMENT LIVE AT WONDERGROUND

 It is an honor and pleasure for us to be able to host local and touring acts. While the pictures don't do it justice, you just have to take my word for it that it was an awesome night. Music, Limbo, Dancing, Roller Skating, and Memory Making. The photos being bad only reflects how totally engaged I was. I didn't want to miss a valuable moment of experiencing the band, to fiddle with my phone.

Wonderground is back and better then ever!

Our Wonderground event space is back and better then ever. You may remember it from previous meal distributions from M.O.R. and School supply giveaways with Unity Baton Rouge.  Once upon a time we were only able to host musical performances with generators and portapotties. But now we have power and water! No small accomplishment! With the new collaboration with Ruby and Riddley Dean, we have ushered in a new energy with many new exciting acts to come. Here is a few scenes from the last event featuring Device Operator and Mind Kontrol. What a great time it was. 

In case you don't already know, Wonderground is a place where all genders, races, and sexual orientations can feel free to express themselves, be supported and find community. If you have ever felt like an outsider, this may just be the place for you. Bring your good attitude and you will certainly fit in here. 

Tis the Season to spread a little Holiday Cheer!.

M.O.R. to give at Wonderground!

M.O.R. (Meals Outreach and Resources) Returns to provide hot, homemade, nutritious and delicious  meals to the residents of Old South Baton Rouge. 

In an effort to reduce overdose, M.O.R. distributed discreet 
Itsy bags with Narcan. No questions asked, no strings attached. 

Magical times with our first Community Drum Circle

We've added a Drum Circle to our bi-weekly community meals with MOR (Meals Outreach and Resoucres).  We had so much fun at the first one, we've decided to keep the good times rolling! Not only can you get a free hot delicious and nutritious meal, you can also have fun, make some noise, and connect with your neighbors on a whole new level. 

If you don't have your own drum, don't let that stop you,  we do have some drums, shakers, buckets and tambourines available. 

Every other Sunday from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm.
We know that can be confusing, so to find out when we will be there

or to sign up to help provide the community meal

visit MOR. 

 

 

                                         
School is back in season and Chez Fab was delighted to team of with FOCUS FOODS and M.O.R. (Meals Outreach and Rescources), at our WONDERGROUND location, to host a festive Back to School Bash featuring DJ Dana Buckley. Backpack and school supply giveaways, and as always, delicous hot meals!

Bathroom Build in progress at Wonderground

 Its been a long journey, and its been wonderful to see the support and progress in becoming Baton Rouge's premiere Off Grid Art and Community Space. A huge thank you to everyone who has been a part of the process.  (Pictured below Otis "Dude" Forbes, Cindy Wonderful, Will Smeltzer, Ellen Ogden, Erin Elliat, Ari Jewell)
