I‘m very excited to announce this project I’ve been working on. In the long-term, the goal is that Childlike Creative is a sustainable non-profit using art + community for social good in very specific ways like workshops, community space, a community center, and a community kitchen funded by a daytime cafe powered by grants and donations. For now though, this effort is my way of simultaneously seeing if I enjoy this aspect enough to pursue in this way and also is a data collection tool I can use in order to apply to grants for myself/this business. The cart will launch on Saturday October 11 at Knox Small Press Fest held by Relay Ridge. Look at Instagram for more specific details. Childlike Creative cannot wait to serve you!

What is a “Pay What You Can” Cafe?

It’s exactly as it sounds. The prices next to each item on the menu is the suggested costs and acts less like a purchase and more like a donation towards sustaining the costs of running the cart and also help me sustain my life (as in part, this effort will be my income). In addition, I will host game nights, movie nights, karaoke, etc. ALL FREE OF CHARGE and without the barrier of capitalism. True third space!

Cart Rental + Events

I am currently open for working events, markets, or small gathering with this cart over the summer and fall. If you are interested, please reach out to me via email at childlikecreative@gmail.com to inquire, and I would love to discuss and serve you! I have different rates and packages available for larger scale service.
