Performance Inquiry

Performance Rentals are selected on a rolling basis. We are currently accepting inquiries through August 2025.

The Foundry is a community STEM and Arts space, with a wide array of uses beyond our use as a performance venue. Due to this, we can only permit a limited number of performance events throughout the year.

This inquiry should take around 10-20 minutes to fill out. Questions about the inquiry request or this process can be directed to logan@cambridgefoundry.org.
