By Making Kindness Common Sense, Everybody WINS

Bringing together music, art and local businesses, THE WALL community adds incentives for people to receive when they give directly to 501(c)3 orgs: Bands add music; artists add art; businesses add deals and specials.

The public chooses an org to give to, and when they do they get everything in THE HOARD. And as the HOARD grows, people who have already given also get the new rewards in the app.

Bands get new fans, Artists get new patrons and Businesses are introduced to a community of people who care about the world around them. Best of all: Organizations serving our community get the critical support they need at THE WALL.

Drink & Food Spiking — Protecting People Professionally

Have a REAL good time.

Desire is natural — drugs that induce desire violate your consent. Protect yourself & friends: know the signs of food & drink spiking & get to know the symptoms of the drugs used in case something happens. Eg: New & deadly: Cychlorphine — KING 5 NEWS

Who wins, and exactly how

Everybody WINS is a promise, not a slogan. Here is what each of us gets.

You — the individual

The whole project exists for this. THE WALL is free, needs no login to use, and is built so you leave safer, better connected and with money in your pocket.

Awareness

A growing community calendar — shows, markets, meetings and drives from the venues and orgs that list with us. Not everything yet, and we say so; if we're missing something, add it.
Honest, sourced guides you can scan in a minute: drink & food spiking, abuse & coercive control, recovery, cannabis, housing. Written for a tired brain; every claim cited.
Know the signs before a night out — and the three numbers to call if something happens.
A map of where the sound lives, and the businesses that have signed on as Safety Partners.

Deals & rewards

Give $20 or more to any participating 501(c)3 — through their own portal — and unlock THE HOARD: music, art and local deals that keep growing after you've given.
Gems: offers from local businesses on the Gem map, their pages and the Holiday HOPE Hop — redeemed at the counter.
Local music, free — the home player, artist pages and the Music Hub.
A Path to Healing: soaks, massage, meetings and sober-friendly places around Pierce County, inside the Recovery guide.

Find a cause See the deals Know the signs

Artists & bands

We put you in front of people who actually show up.

A free page of your own, built with you — music, shows, links, press — on the same site as the community calendar.
Your shows on the calendar and the map when you or your venue list them.
New fans through giving: your tracks in THE HOARD reach everyone who donates to a local cause.
Featured slots on the home-page player and the Music Hub, and on our festival posters.
Your history kept: posters, press and recordings archived year by year.

For bands & artists

Local businesses

A free web page, a free promotion channel, and customers who care.

A free business page — hours, map, links and your current Gem. If you have no website, this is one.
Gems: post an offer in about ten minutes and it appears on the Gem map, your page, the Holiday HOPE Hop and in THE HOARD.
Events you host go on the community calendar — synced automatically for venues we already pull from, or sent to us as a lineup.
The Safety Partner badge: tell the scene your staff knows the signs. It is a reason people choose your room.
Seasonal campaigns — the Holiday HOPE Hop — that walk people to your door.

For businesses

501(c)3 organizations

100% of every gift goes straight to you — and a crowd that wants to help.

Donations run through your own portal. We never touch the money.
A community page, your events and drives on the calendar, and a pin on the Giving Map.
Donors are rewarded for choosing you, so giving to you becomes a habit, not a one-off.
Your cause page links the whole ecosystem — guides, services and allies — around your mission.
Your calls for volunteers and donations reach a public that is already here for the shows.

Recommend an org

Cities & neighborhoods

A safer night out, fuller rooms, and a live map of what is actually happening.

A free public calendar for your city that grows as venues and orgs join — no agency contract, no paywall.
Harm reduction that reaches people where they are: spiking awareness in the venues, sourced guides, Safety Partners.
Foot traffic routed to small businesses through Gems and seasonal hops; dollars routed to local 501(c)3s.
Public infrastructure you can link to or co-brand: calendar, maps, resource directory, sourced guides.
Sister-city exchange through Peace Day, and a kept public record — Our Origins, 2012 to today.

Partner with us

We say growing on purpose. The calendar, the map and the directory are exactly as complete as the community makes them — and we would rather be accurate than impressive. Missing a venue, a show or an org? Add it here. And the people who backed this before any of it existed are on the Yellowbrick.

Donors & Community Members

Your donation does double duty. Support causes you care about AND receive exclusive music, art, and local deals. Feel good about giving while enjoying the fruits of your community's creativity.

Our Origins — 2012 to today

THE WALL didn't start as an app. It began as an intentional work in the media of light and sound and has grown, year by year, through a responsible tradition of community stewardship. The story is told year by year — with the founding documents, photos, video and audio — as a linear, clear projection from origins to today.

Every event page follows the same recipe: a schedule people can actually read on a phone, a map with parking and drop-offs, the North Star safety guide, and the local businesses that make the day better. Here are three from this season — start with Tacoma Peace Day 2026, our example of a complete event page.

See the example: Tacoma Peace Day 2026

July 18–19

Tacoma Porchfest 2026 — two days of porch stages, the porch map and a community poster wall.

What a simple ad banner looks like

This is the banner we ran at the top of our Gig Harbor page for the 2026 Maritime Gig Festival: a logo, one line that says when and where, a button to the lineup — and underneath, the cause strip. That weekend, THE WALL's Gig Harbor music community rallied behind Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, so the banner carried the Learn More and Donate buttons right alongside the festival. That pairing is the whole idea: every ad on THE WALL points at a local cause, so the business gets seen and the community gets fed. Want one for your event or storefront? It's free — send us your logo and a sentence.
