As we approach their 20th anniversary, DaPoPo is excited to be putting energy back into building community, producing and organizing – and hatching new ideas. “We have been somewhat dormant for the last few years, with many of our original members branching out into family and professional life,” says Williams.
Like so many others, the company was severely impacted by the changes in the industry during the first three COVID years. This feels like a tentative step towards reinventing the company for another decade.
"We have a cute book exchange and all sorts of fun, interesting programming," says Williams. "We are curating a warm, welcoming space, a supportive designated art space, and trying to keep it open to the community."
To keep the space open, we are accepting donations.
