Do you need AV equipment for your next show or event, but can’t afford it?

NON:op’s Equipment Sharing Program offers audio and video equipment and services to other small Chicago-based non-profit arts and humanities organizations and individuals with whom we share a vision and creative aesthetic. This high-quality gear—purchased with funding from DCASE’s CARP grant—may be used for both in-person and live-stream productions and events. Equipment and services will be made available at a very reasonable rate and/or in exchange for equipment and resources that we do not have.

User is responsible for pickup and return, must provide insurance to cover damage or replacement, and sign an agreement of understanding. All requests must be made 30 days or more before the first date of use.
