If you are interested in having an event at Camas Books, please fill out an event application form. Please take a moment to read through the form before filling it out as many questions require some details. Note that this form does not ‘autosave,’ so we recommend you write your answers on a separate file and copy and paste them in.

As we want to ensure happenings that take place at the store align with our values, please review our Principles of Unity and Mission Statement beforehand.  Visit: https://camas.ca/principles-of-unity/

Thank you!

Please provide the full name of the contact corresponding with Camas Books about this application.
Please provide a contact email so we can get in touch with you.
Please provide an (optional) phone number.
Please provide any social media listing(s) you may have.
If this is an event for a group, please provide the name of your organisation.
If you are applying on behalf of a group, please provide a description of who you are and how you align with Camas Books' Principles Unity and Mission Statement.
Please tell us the title of your event and what it is for (ie, Booklaunch, Discussion, Screening, Fundraiser, etc.)
Please describe what you want to see happen in the space. Provide information about the content you will have. Include the names and bios of speakers if you are planning to have presentations.
Please provide a few options for dates that will work for you. *PLEASE note we need at least a month in advance to plan, and events start in the evening, after we close for the day. Also be sure to check the events calendar for dates that may already be booked in the store.
Please let us know how many hosts you will have for your event. Please also try to estimate how many attendees you might be expecting (this will affect our seating layout options).
If your event is accepted, Camas Books will make social media announcements and produce 2 posters (8.5X11, black and white) for the front door of the shop. Please note we are not responsible for mass postering around town.
Please include anything you may need to explain about social media here
Please select all that apply.
In the case of screening a film, whether licensed or open-sourced, please provide us with confirmation you have everything you need to screen. This can be in the form of URLs to open source projects, or an email noting you obtained the filmmaker's permission, etc.
All food MUST be cleared with Camas Books before being brought into the store. If food is accepted as part of the proposal, you will be expected to serve all guests, not just a few. All food served must be non-odorous. Obtaining plates, cups, and cutlery, as well as cleaning up afterwards is the responsibility of the event organiser.
Please fill out your food proposal in this space, noting the limitations we expressed in the previous check box.
In keeping with our ethos of sliding-scale, Camas Books offers three options to create opportunities for mutual exchange and benefit for those wanting to use our space for events. Camas Books and Infoshop is a volunteer-run non-profit educational society and we appreciate donations for hosting public or private events in the space. Please keep in mind that we must have one or two collective members around to ensure the event runs smoothly, so agreeing to host an event is us making a commitment to you.
Please tell us more about your ideas of how your proposal may be a Mutual Aid benefit between us, or, if you are doing a Fundraiser, who will be lifted up through our shared mutual support.
Thank you for your application. Someone will be in touch with you as soon as possible. Please note we determine the use of our space collectively, and it usually takes a few weeks for us to arrive at a decision.
