Mission

StretchMetal is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to offering unique opportunities for ambient and genre-bending artists nationwide. Through curated live music programming, audio/visual experiences, and electronic workshops, we create space for experimental artists to thrive. Our mission is to cultivate welcoming environments for audiences to connect and unwind, while highlighting lesser-known but high-quality contemporary sound and video artists.

Core Values

Promote Accessibility. We maintain affordable ticket prices and ensure nobody misses out due to financial constraints. Our commitment to ADA-compliant venues guarantees inclusivity for all, regardless of disabilities.
Prioritize Artistry over Influence. We value artists for their work, not just their social media presence. We empower under-recognized talents to showcase their skills in distinctive settings with significant rewards.
