Sliding Scale Tickets:
All 10C workshops are set using a varying sliding scale. The sliding scale recognizes that our economic system is an outdated and oppressive model that does not serve the needs of our community. By offering a range of ticket prices we aim to reduce barriers to participation in community events and learning opportunities that are meant for everyone to enjoy.
Please choose the ticket price that best fits with your needs.
