Supporting creative people and projects to connect, develop, and thrive

By working together, creatives gain needed exposure, learn from each other, share resources, and get feedback while developing their creative practices and create sustainable livelihoods. Cities where creativity thrives have more diverse and resilient economies and are more attractive places to live and visit.

Our spaces are affordable and perfect for testing, experimenting, and developing ideas alongside a supportive like-minded community.

“Exchange is the place for crazy ideas”
