In Europe i've performed music in some Non-profit places that provide entertainment. It seems that almost every large town or city has some form of non-profit entertainment. Mostly these places bring published entertainment rather than art from the community.

In a lot of regional areas in Europe these places used to be the only form of entertainment, yet in the last years different clubs and venues have sprung up everywhere. So now these non-profits are often promoting well published acts to the public in order to get attention and maintain a reputation.

An idea to integrate into the "free culture house" might be a "free-culture bus". Get artists to create their own bus online and tour it. Most of these non-profit organizations need information on free-culture and also want to bring quality entertainment that is not part of the label scene to the locals.
