The A-Space, established in 1991 is an anarchist community space located at 4722 Baltimore Avenue in West Philadelphia. It is operated by an all volunteer anarchist collective who share chores, rotate responsibilities, and make decisions by consensus. The A-Space is home to Philadelphia groups such as Books Through Bars, Philadelphia Alliancefor Labor (Birth) Support, Philly NORML, West Philly Food Not Bombs & MOSAIC Open Mic. It is also used for lectures, meetings, performances, art showings, films, benefits, cultural events, educational events, & other events that bring people together.
The building is part the Life Center Association. The Life Center Association (LCA) is a land trust that owns several buildings in West Philadelphia. Instead of paying rent to a landlord each month, the people living in these houses pay money toward a common pool that is available for the upkeep of the houses. A representative from each building makes up the board, which meets monthly to discuss any needed building repairs and community issues.
