An Accessible Stage for Local Arts and Community Events
Gather Davis is dedicated to becoming a vibrant cultural destination where local arts and community events can flourish. Our user-friendly platform aims to simplify the process of securing an event location, making it easier for you to bring creative and innovative ideas to life in the heart of Davis.
Cultivating Community Through Food, Education, and Local Partnerships
At Gather Davis, we're committed to becoming a nexus for food education, local agriculture, and community engagement. Our programs aim to bring together key partners like UC Davis, Davis Farmers Market Alliance, and Davis Farm to School to celebrate and educate on local food culture.
This synergy aims to enrich Davis's unique food culture and foster a sense of community, right in the heart of the city.
Fostering Innovation and Community Through Coworking
At Gather Davis, we envision a coworking space that serves as more than just a place to work; it's a hub for innovation, collaboration, and community engagement. In partnership with Davis Coworking and UC Davis Venture Catalyst, we aim to provide a nurturing environment for local entrepreneurs, startups, and non-profits.
Our coworking space will offer flexible, cost-effective solutions that remove barriers to entry for budding entrepreneurs and community organizations. By integrating educational workshops, mentorship programs, and networking events into our offerings, we're committed to fostering a thriving, interconnected community where innovation and social impact are at the forefront.
About us
In a world where community spaces are increasingly rare yet more important than ever, we saw an opportunity to make a difference right here in Davis. We, Deema Tamimi and Do Tromp, envisioned Gather Davis as a transformative project to revitalize 303 3rd Street. Our goal is to create a dynamic hub that serves multiple facets of our community — be it through facilitating community events, pioneering local food programming, or providing a coworking space for startups and entrepreneurs.
