Grassroots Oasis

Why does San Diego need this space?
Think of all the time and effort we expend to find affordable and accessible space for our progressive political, artistic and cultural events and organizing efforts.

This "Oasis" is a place for events, meetings, training and sharing resources. Live music, spoken word, book/play readings, other performance on a smaller scale, speakers, films, art exhibits and other cultural exhibits, organizational meetings, trainings and conferences.

Apply Liberally Enterprises, LLC (ALE) was founded in 2008 and is owned and managed by Martha Sullivan. From 2009-2012, Martha hosted a live music series in conjunction with her fine art and collectibles business in her leased business space in Sorrento Valley, San Diego, called Oasis House Concerts. This live music series was treasured by audience and artists alike, and brought together a wonderful community. During this time, Martha also hosted many progressive political events in her leased business space for fundraisers, touring speakers, and organizing/action meetings. This experience sowed the seeds for The Grassroots Oasis.
