Hey everyone! If you are interested in building community you are going to want to show up to this (Monday June 15: 10-1pm)

Maybe you recognize some of the names involved? They're big ones - and they are looking to co-create an Art Hive - a free, drop-in space where all residents can come together.

Before launching the pilot, they are inviting the community to help co-design the shape it takes as they seek to respond to some of the challenges facing our communities (isolation, housing insecurity, etc)
