About Me


The A-Space, established in 1991 is an anarchist community space located at 4722 Baltimore Avenue in West Philadelphia. It is operated by an all volunteer anarchist collective who share chores, rotate responsibilities, and make decisions by consensus.
The A-Space is home to Philadelphia groups such as Books Through Bars, the Philadelphia Anti-War Forum, PALS & the Philadelphia Icarus Project. It is also used for lectures, meetings, performances, art showings, movies & videos, benefits, cultural events, educational events, & other events that bring people together. The building is part the Life Center Association.
The Life Center Association (LCA) is a land trust that owns several houses in West Philadelphia. Instead of paying rent to a landlord each month, the people living in these buildings pay money toward a common pool that's available for the upkeep of the houses. A representative from each building makes up the board, which meets monthly to discuss any needed repairs.
The A-Space Collective meets monthly. Folks with questions, ideas for events, or an interest in showing their art or joining the collective are welcome to drop in at these meetings. Call or email for dates & times. The A-space has voicemail, an email address, an event announcement listserv, a web page & a monthly calendar to keep people informed of upcoming events. People interested using the A-Space can call or email for more information and to find out available times.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

anarchists, anti-authoritarians and other radicals, folks interested in having events at the A-Space, folks interested in joining the collective
