Our first day open!

Today we tabled at the Audubon Park Community market at Stardust Video & Coffee at 1824 Winter Park Road. We had a good number of people coming to look at our books and zines. Thank you to everyone who showed interest and signed up for our mailing list. Also thank you to our first customer, who bought a copy of Kurt Vonnegut's Mother Night. We will be at future Audubon Markets, watch this space for when.

Next Saturday (the 8th) is a house show that we will be present at. Contact us through email for the details.

We are always looking for donations to make this project possible. Here is a list of things that we could use:

A collapsible table
Collapsible chairs
A P.A.
More zines!
More books!
CDs, records, tapes
Paper
A photocopy machine
An office space to use

If you have any information for us that would be helpful in obtaining any of these items, or funding, or an event we could table at, or a storefront we could set up it it would also be greatly appreciated.

Who we are.

The Orange Juice Collective is a non-profit organization that offers a hub for media exchange, space for music and art events, and a forum for d.i.y. education and the application thereof.




The collective aims to create an all-ages show space/infoshop/record store to help promote independent and progressive music and literature. The space will be open for local and touring musicians, artists looking to display their work, educators who wish to share knowledge with the community, and as a place for meetings. Overall, it is our goal to have the space be an unbarred area for individuals to express themselves. In addition, we want to provide an infoshop and record store that serves as a library stocked with media from a variety of freethinking sources.



The collective plans on organizing events and providing independent media to the community in a multitude of venues in the Orlando area. We will be asking for donations and gifts in kind (such as books, zines, recordings, films, etc) to make this project possible. Your help, in any form, in making our vision a reality is greatly appreciated.
