 “Blank Space,   (located at Unit 3 1416 2 Ave S) is exactly what it sounds like— it’s a blank space available to local theatre groups, arts groups and artists who need a place to rehearse and perform in,” said  Blank Space  board member Karolyn Harker, who is  organizing the gala.
 There will be a 50 50 draw and a silent auction and live entertainment.
“There will be scenes explaining  what the space can be used for. There will also be  also be scenes from the Gin Game and  A Christmas Carol, the first two production taking place here,” Harker said.
 The Gin Game Runs Nov. 13-17.A  Christmas Carol will be taking place during the first two  weeks of December, Dec. 1-15 as the group needs to raise a lot of money to pay the mortgage and utilities bills. There will also be a bar and refreshments available.
“It is an opportunity for various groups to see this space and learn what it’s about and how it can be used, Harker said.
 There is no charge to attend the gala.
