According to 1919 Hemphill’s website guy, Al, the venue is a “volunteer-run community and performance space that follows the DIY ethic. We have shows of all kinds; a free store; a book, zine and music library; and we offer an alcohol- and smoke-free environment for all kinds of events and meetings.”

DIY Venue Spotlight: Trumbullplex
This week, we bring you a DIY pioneer. During the 15 years this space has been open, a tight-knit community of anarchists, punks, and musicians has been established. Try as they may, authorities cannot shut this place down. The Trumbullplex plans to continue its promotion of music as a weapon for years to come.
