So I attended an event at the foundry center recently. It was a holiday oddities market and I have to say what a neat venue! Having visited the Gold country off and on my entire life, I am kind of used to these neat old buildings that dot The Golden Necklace Highway of 49. But this one was unique. It was multi-leveled though not necessarily two stories. If you've ever been to Nevada City you understand that it's actually fairly steep in its terrain so nothing can be completely flat. So whoever built this back in the day utilized to the natural geography in a really cool way. Inside there is a bar in one area, two separate lower level rooms with completely different feels to each of them. And then of course as you come in there is foyer like gathering area. The market itself was awesome and I'll review that separately. I wasn't able to utilize the bar as there was a long line the entire time and only one or two servers so that was a bit of a disappointment. Most of the food was prepackaged again because of the type of event this was. I am not sure how food would be done here for other events. In terms of facilities the bathrooms were well kept in clean, the whole venue seemed to be well taken care of, the small exhibits that were around were in good condition, and everything seemed to be functioning properly. The lighting is a little dim which was made more apparent given the day was a dreary fall afternoon with lots of cloud cover and rain. So it did make looking at some of the items at the market a little more difficult. I did end up using my cell phone flashlight to get a better look at some items.But overall this is a great place! I love the feel of it and I could see lots of events being very cool here. I think a wedding would be super fun though It might be difficult for those who have accessibility needs. That's the last part I want to add to this, accessibility parking. There's like hardly any. In fact parking in general in this entire area is extremely difficult. The parking lot's not very big and as I mentioned earlier this is a multi-level space. So it's not the most accessible to those who have mobility needs. Granted it was built before ADA and I believe it's historical so it would be very difficult to make some of the adjustments to make it more accessible. But something, anything, needs to be done about the parking.

This venue is the very place you want to be in to experience music as it was meant to be heard and experienced. It is a beautiful theatre with a lovely staff.

We saw The Stinkfoot Orchestra here and it was great! Plenty of room for a small to medium audience and helpful staff.

Beautifully restored old industrial building. One of the coolest event spaces I've seen, good acustica to boot.

It’s really a nice place there.. My uncle told me of a rock’n roll story that he got to see one of the (Supertramps’) lead singers -Roger Hodgson, performed there I think in 1997. He said there’s an album out there a ‘Live’ recorded version, but I’m not sure what it is. I thought to share that. Cheers.

Very unique cultural and historic center in Nevada City. We went there for a juried craft show and there was plenty of attendance and very creative work. They also have concerts there periodically throughout the year.
