"Partying allows us to be close with other people that we wouldn't necessarily connect with in other circumstances. To look over and see a total stranger lost in blissful happiness, smiling from the depths of their soul for no reason except that it feels good, and to understand exactly what they're feeling because you feel it too. That is the magic of partying." - Andrew W.K.

Tinderbox is a flexible-use venue and curated community event series that captures the zeitgeist of Cincinnati. Tinderbox is an alternative space intended for artistic expression and community aggregation.

Tinderbox exists as a result of burgeoning community demand, previously represented by multiple “DIY” venues across the Cincinnati area that have closed their doors due to issues with fire code and occupancy.

Tinderbox aims to resolve this institutional battle once and for all, by procuring an interesting, legal, safe, and welcoming space and providing this to the local community. Tinderbox believes that culture is the key to community and that solidifying community is the key to stabilizing the local economy. Tinderbox represents an impressive opportunity to leverage unmet needs in the name of social transformation.
