In April 2016 Title:Point moved into the space beneath the loft in North Garage of The Silent Barn. The space had been CSAA Gallery for years and Title:Point had been invited to perform in the gallery many times by Lorissa Rinehart, as we had a small office in the loft.
When Lorissa decided to move on, Title:Point got approved to move in.
In order to learn about how non-Title:Point artists would use the space, we started ?!:New Works and did shows every night of April possible, cramming in and going wild.
This was the first bonkers line-up:

It was pretty bonkers… We learned so much and artists met during that month who continue to support each other and work together.
Year two found us in a new location, as we had left The Silent Barn in August 2016.
Now we were in Vital Joint at 109 Meserole Street, and again, we wanted to learn about our new space and introduce artists whom we love to each other.
This time, we fit a giant whale into a tiny space and there was lots of egg stuff.
Featuring: Peter Mills Weiss, Jeniffer Vanilla, Title:Point, Adam Endres, Emilyn Kowaleski, Gabriel Vasquez, Brett Evan Solomon, Garlan Jude, CJ Holm, Nic Adams, Cori Marquis, Saints of an Unnamed Country, Julia Mounsey, Hannah Kallenbach, Bryn Herdrich, Peter Funk, Anna Lublina, Cara Scarmack, Genee Coreno, Kelsey Lurie, Jeff Tabnick.
Year three, we were still at Vital Joint at 109 Meserole Street, but we had learned so much from the previous year, we could offer more tech in the performance space and room in the office space. This year had guacamole, peanut butter, blood and teeth, ice skating and so much more.
Featuring: Abigail Entsminger, Seth Timothy Larson, Scott M Ries, Nic Adams, Lee Rayment, Jaime Wright, Nick Water, Theresa Buchheister, Pioneers Go East, Rachel Kaly, Edy Modica, Francesca D’Uva, Lily Kaplan, Julian Hernandez, Nathan Graves, Simple Town, Lucy Cotrell, Steven Markow, Caroline Yost, Hannah Kallenbach, Cristina Pitter, Dan Veksler, Serena Miller, Darrell Smith, Adam Chase, Joe Bonacci, Boom Bat Gesture, Tatenda Mbudzi, Josephine Simple, Ryan William Downey, Adam Endres, Alyse lamb, Peter Mills Weiss, Julia Mounsey, Brian Fiddyment, Blake Bolan.
Year four found us in The Brick, as word was just starting to spread that I would be taking over artistic direction of the space in 2020.
Now we had yet another new space to learn about and even more artists to bring together in space and time.
