The Gothic Athenaeum Launches its First "Listening Room" Video on YouTube!

What is the first in a series of many videos of background music for study, reading, crafting, and relaxation, The Gothic Athenaeum launches the first installation of the "Listening Room." This video, that can be found at The Athenaeum's YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@TheGothicAthenaeum), is just under 54 minutes long and features a dark Cello selection of classical songs from masters Beethoven, Bach, Purcell, Vivaldi, and more! All set over a backdrop of a quiet & cozy, yet violently stormy night! 

Have a listen to the personally curated playlist and let the woes and worries of your day melt into the night!

The Founder's Prospectus Booklets are HERE!!!

HOT OFF THE PRESSES!!! 1,000 copies of The Gothic Athenaeum's Founder's Prospectus booklets have arrived! To be honest, they are somewhat darker than what was designed, but we're Goths...darker is fine! Below is a short video of the unboxing of the booklets for your viewing pleasure!

We are also trying to put together a way to order a booklet online and to send for anyone interested in receiving one! So stay tuned for THAT if you'd like to get your very own copy detailing the Athenaeum's vision and non-profit goals!

Founder's Prospectus is off to the Printers!!!

Founder Sir William Welles has created and designed a full-color 12 page booklet that serves as a Founder's Prospectus to outline and detail the vision behind The Gothic Athenaeum structure and mission. The artwork has been sent to the printers to create a limited run of 1,000 copies which will be used as promotional material to advance the creation of the Gothic Athenaeum via the participation of future Board of Director members, volunteers, donors, corporate partners, and the general Goth community alike. 

These limited Founder's Prospectus booklets will be available to the public within the next few weeks as we implement a mailing strategy that will get them out as quickly as possible per each request, while keeping shipping costs at a bare minimum. Stay tuned for more information after we receive the physical booklets from the printers.

And speaking of printers, a quick nod to NextDayFlyers.com who is taking care of this daunting task of putting CMYK inks to paper for this project. Sir William has been utilizing their services for close to 20 years now non various printed material needs ranging from business cards, club flyers, to even food packaging labels, and has yet to be disappointed with their exemplary work!
