Programs

We're cultivating a creative workforce.

We’re big fans of bringing folks with similar interests into the same room, and in the spirit of that, we offer community education through low-cost workshop series such as our Film Lab and Podcast Lab. When possible, we love working with community partners to host events, including AIGA’s Annual Portfolio Review and Career Days for students attending universities around Indiana.

In addition to educational-style convening, we also offer several creator-specific workspaces: Paradox Photo Studio for photographers; StitchWorks for fashion designers and fiber artists; Next Stop Shop for retail; and Summer Camp Podcast Studio for podcasters and audio engineers.

We’ve hosted First Friday opening receptions for the art gallery, collection launches for small businesses, networking hours, meetups, private dinners, and more.

If you’re looking for an inspiring space to host your next workshop, a relaxed space for a meetup, or you’re an artist interested in being considered for a future gallery show, drop us a line!
