We're open for the public to tour and share every Tuesday between 7pm and 10pm. This coincides with our weekly get-together so we're often filled with people who've brought projects to work on and show off. Lots to see and learn and plenty of people to meet. Show up and ask for anyone to give you a tour. | We're open for the public to tour and share every Tuesday between 7pm and 10pm.

'''Friend Membership''' - $10/month (or optionally, more) | |||
This is a minimal, restricted form of membership. Friends are people who either believe in and want to show their support for Protospace but don't see use for Full Membership themselves, or, people who intend to only show up and work on personal projects with someone who is a Full Member. Friend Members have no personal access, cannot be at the space unsupervised, and are restricted from using some of the tools. Friend Members are also not given storage space, their projects and personal effects must leave with them when they depart. Friend Members are welcome to participate in administrative meetings, but have no voting rights. | This is a minimal, restricted form of membership.
