Friends of the TANK

The TANK Center for Sonic Arts got its start with the support of an eclectic group of artists, sonic explorers, and practical minds, bound together by the experience of The TANK, who joined in the effort to save and develop a magnificent acoustic resource. Calling themselves the Friends of the TANK, they raised funds to buy and equip the place, staff events, and sustain the project.  They remain the stalwarts and champions of The TANK.
