Membership
reMADE is a space managed and collectively owned by Associacio MADE, a registered non-for-profit association, founded in Barcelona in 2014. The space and the association is entirely financed by membership fees and support of the community in form of donations.
reMADE is member managed, and all members have an equal vote. All members have rights and privileges within the space that the public does not have - such as access outside of public opening hours, possibility of renting private work spaces and to host events within.
Within reMADE are clearly labelled community-owned tools, workareas, consumables, books, and other materials that can be used by members following the House Rules. That said there are also private tools and personal possessions in certain areas within reMADE, members should be mindful before taking/using items. When in doubt, ask another member.
The association holds meetings of various nature to which members are invited, but not obligated, to attend. Members should endeavour to at the very least attend the Assemblea General of the association, as this is the forum to discuss and vote any changes to the association bylaws and processes. As a member of the association you should be engaged with the process of improving the association via proposals, discussion and voting on issues.
