Ithaca Underground is a 100% volunteer run 501(c)(3) not-for-profit.
Since 2007, Ithaca Underground has nurtured a sustainable all ages (and especially youth) supportive environment where music and art outside of the mainstream is encouraged and able flourish.
Equipment is essential. IU's equipment is used frequently, and it gets used hard. Some equipment needs to be replaced due to damage; other things are in desperate need of updating. Please donate to help us continue furthering our mission to provide challenging & new music to all, in a radically inclusive environment.
We present 60+ shows a year featuring national touring, regional, and local performers. Events include hardcore, punk, math-rock, hiphop, noise-rock, grindcore, progressive and experimental genres, ever-evolving sub-genres, and more. But, did you know that we don't have any monitors for musicians?
In addition to presenting year-round events, IU trains youth and community members on sound, photography, videography, social media, fundraising, grant writing, and more. Did you know that IU's volunteers currently supply their own cameras for event photography?
As IU grows and thrives we are offering more shows, more volunteer training and more community collaborations. To keep IU events affordable to all and give them maximum impact, we are introducing crowd funding to help support the costs of ongoing programming.
