We're always looking for new opportunities to facilitate projects/education in the space. New equipment can help us do that, so we decided to make a wishlist of some of the things that we need for the space.

If you have any items you would like to donate to our space, please contact donations@freesideatlanta.org with details to arrange the donation drop off.

Volunteer Opportunities

  • Mural Art: Artists, pick a spot on the wall and make it yours! For large pieces, please give the directors a heads-up.
  • Classes: Teaching at Freeside raises money for the space, helps educate our community, and can put a little extra money in your pocket. You don't have to be a member or an expert to teach a class, you just have to have some basic skills and a plan to share them.
  • Projects: Volunteering your skills on projects (and Build-Outs) is a great way to meet people and help out. Check out our Meetup account for upcoming opportunities to jump on in.

  • 105" bandsaw blades for the Delta
