Organized by

Our mission is to support innovative economic development in post-industrial, semi-rural communities by providing opportunities to explore and develop hands-on skills in support of enhanced personal satisfaction, increased employment value, and business incubation to benefit individuals, schools, businesses and the broader community.

Creation: by providing workshop space and equipment for local craftspeople to produce their work, collaborate with other makers, and take classes that teach members and non-members maker-based skills.

Education: by operating a training center that serves as a satellite campus for community colleges to provide workforce development opportunities, offer job training certificates, "micro" credit courses, and access to higher education and online learning; and to serve as an extension of partnering organizations for educational events.

Incubation: by providing physical space and other supportive resources for entrepreneurs launching businesses with a focus on the creative economy.

We work with local artists, makers and educators to provide fun, creative and inspiring classes and workshops throughout the year. Please join our social media channels to stay up to date with our events.
