An event space under downtown Flagstaff.
The Wild Below is open, and the rooms are yours to book. Two of them, in the basement of the 1917 Masonic Temple, behind a door on San Francisco Street that most people walk right past. Shows, parties, meetings, anything under 50 people. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll get back to you.
01On the stage
Put on a show.
Music, comedy nights, DJs, performance art. The Vortex is the big room. It has a stage, a dance floor and art on every wall, and it doesn't take a huge crowd to make it feel full.
Got something that doesn't fit a category? A reading, a release party, a one-night gallery, a thing that doesn't have a name yet. Even better. Run it by us.
02Off the stage
Bring your people.
Get-togethers and family reunions. Wedding ceremonies and receptions. Business meetings, workshops and team days. Holiday parties, birthdays, launches, memorials.
This isn't a hotel conference room, and it isn't trying to be. It's a basement under a 1917 temple with art on the walls. If that's the room you're picturing, you're in the right place. If what you need is a ballroom, we'll tell you straight.
03The rooms
Two rooms, together or apart.
The Vortex is the big one: gallery walls, a stage, a dance floor. The Observatory is the celestial one, good for a smaller crowd, a lounge, or a meeting. Take one, or take both.
Your guests come in through The Reliquary, the little room at the bottom of the stairs, with Weird & Wild West and Brigitte De Marco's art on the walls. It sets the mood before anyone reaches your event.
It's a small space, and that's the point. We keep every event under 50 people.
04The price
$100 an hour on weekdays. $120 on weekends.
That gets you both rooms, The Vortex and The Observatory, with a two-hour minimum. Weekdays are Monday to Thursday. Weekends are Friday to Sunday.
Only need one room? Selling tickets to a show? Tell us and we'll work out a number that makes sense.
Running a nonprofit, or putting on something for the community? Say so. We want those nights down here, and we'll work with you on the price.
05How it works
Tell us. We talk. Then we hold the date.
Fill out the form below. We read every one and write back ourselves, or call if you leave a number. We'll talk through the rooms, the date and what you're bringing. If it's a fit, the date is yours. Asking is free, and sending the form doesn't commit you to anything.
06Start an inquiry
Tell us about your event.
The more you tell us, the better the first reply. A rough date is fine. A guess at numbers is fine. "Not sure" is a fine answer to most of this.

- Is The Wild Below open for events?
- Yes. We're open and booking now. Fill out the form on this page and we'll get back to you.
- What kinds of events can I hold?

- How many people fit?

- Can I rent both rooms?
- Yes, and that's what the posted price covers. Tick both on the form.
- Do I have to be a member to rent?
- No. Anyone can rent the rooms. The Collective is its own thing, a monthly membership for people who want to come to the community nights.
- Where is it, and where do I park?
- In the basement of the 1917 Masonic Temple, 120 N San Francisco St, Unit J, downtown Flagstaff. Look for the door on San Francisco Street and head down. There's no parking at the building, so park downtown and walk over.
