The fair now takes place twice a year in NYC and once in SF. Then in June of that same year, they decided to invite local publishers and artists to show and sell their products on the pool tables. Between January and July of 2012, Grand Billiard hosted events, parties, screenings, launches and other sorts of gatherings. We want to help maintain the value of physical things in a virtual society.”Ĩ-Ball came from an un-planned and spontaneous decision made by three friends to prevent a small Billiard Hall in Brooklyn from going out of business.
We want to inspire others to make even better projects. We believe the process is more important than the end result. We are against the competitive environment of the capitalistic world. We do not have any association with brands. We work against privileges based on race, religion, sex, class or ability. 8-Ball Community operates free of elitism and is governed by its participants.
