Bring a chair or a blanket. Outside food and drinks are welcome, or grab a taco from Ki Mexico. Make a plan. BUT DON’T HECKLE THE MC!

ACHTUNG CREATIVE FRIENDS!

Arts Longview is working with LeTourneau University on a study looking at the potential for a local maker space, and they need to hear from Longview area artists and makers.

It’s about giving Arts!Longview and LETU a clearer picture of what our creative community actually needs.

LETU is only keeping the survey open through October 4, so the window is pretty short. They’ll be turning the responses into a report for Arts!Longview, and the more voices we get in the mix, the better picture they’ll have.

Painter? Sculptor? Photographer? Ceramicist? Woodworker? Jewelry maker? Fiber artist? Musician? Designer? Crafter? Professional creative? Weekend troublemaker with a glue gun?

Get In!

Your input is a part of the bigger creative conversation.

TAKE THE SURVEY:

Deadline: October 4.

Pass it on!

It’s quick and non-obtrusive

A Maker Space lab (or makerspace) is a collaborative, hands-on workshop environment space where people gather to explore, design, prototype, and create physical projects.
