How to navigate money decisions in friendship-based creative projects

My friend and I started a monthly salon in our neighborhood where people share work and ideas, and it's grown from eight people to forty, but now we disagree about whether to charge admission to cover costs. She thinks money will change the energy and exclude people, while I think we can't sustain this without some financial structure, and every conversation about logistics becomes a philosophical argument about community versus capitalism.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Financial sustainability forces friends to confront how their different values about money and community cannot be easily reconciled.
