Who is it for?

We are a space for creative people. Our members are musicians, writers, designers, developers, film makers, artists, entrepreneurs and so much more.

Our members make us who we are. As a member in our new location you will get a chance to shape our new community from a blank slate to vibrancy.

We’re not looking for people who just want to rent an office (although that’s part of it!), we’re looking for people who want to participate, who understand the importance of a shared experience and will do their part in building something unique for everyone who joins.

We’ve done this before, we have a pretty good idea how to do it again but it will take time. Not everything will work perfectly from day one. We’re building the plane while flying it so we need people who are in it with us.
