Nimby bridges the gap between young and old, skilled and newbie, professional and hobbyist by providing a collaborative, comfortable environment where skill can be shared and new directions explored.

Nimby, known for such events as Fight Night,  Combots, battling robots, Lost Vegas and too many stage productions shows to begin to name them all. Nimby is one of the few places where amateur and professional dancers, aerialist and exotic performers, Yo-Yo wranglers, Snake Charmers, Belly Dancers and more are welcome to share the stage.  Recently Nimby was host to the Oakland Underground Film Festival with two nights of wonderful films and videos from all over the world.

Nimby has been used for film sets, numerous music videos and many, many photo shoots. With it's varied architecture and fluid backdrops Nimby is the ideal location for industrial backgrounds while being able to provide tame office environments as needed.
