Greetings & Salutations,


The holidays, like many things, are a paradox. They offer opportunities to reflect on our values and priorities, to appreciate what we have, and to set intentions for what we want. Simultaneously, they stretch our schedules, checkbooks, and waistlines.

 

If WORK_SPACE can help reduce your stress and increase your productivity through the holidays and in the new year, just let us know. We have 7 media equipped venues to host business meetings, zoom calls, trainings, and events for 1-125 people (including your holiday visitors), 3 art galleries to showcase and sell locally crafted art, a digital story studio to record business promos, podcasts and social media campaigns, and a calendar of events to support personal, professional and community growth (details below).

 

Here at WORK_SPACE, we are working to wrap up 2022 with a 2nd Saturday Open House 12/10 910a-2p) and Holiday Sing-A-Long & Tree Lighting 12/22 (5:30-7p), planning and promoting our 2023 offerings including an open-air trolley circling Downtown on May 13th for Manchester’s Bicentennial and our 5TH Birthday being celebrated on February 10th when we open our Blank Canvas exhibit (canvases available for pick-up NOW!).

 

We once again want to thank our sponsors, ECHN, Highland Park Market, and McCarthy Concrete for helping us do what we do and our members and visitors who make it worth doing. Thank you also to our colleagues in the Town of Manchester, the Downtown District, Ryan Parker (Manchester’s Poet Laureate) and Bill Ludwig (Town Troubadour) for their partnership. And I want to acknowledge our small but mighty staff. Thank you Deb, Traé and Josh for their dedication, talent and creativity.

Be well and be kind,


Stacey Zackin, WORK_SPACE Manager

CONGRATULATIONS!

Our very own Trae Brooks will have a solo show at the ArtWalk Gallery at the Hartford Public Library. Feb. 10 - April 23, 2023

In Living Memory

This exhibition is a tribute to Brooks' grandmother, Linna A. Brooks; his foundation growing up as a child. Using portraits, domestic installation, reading material, music, and scent, he explores his genealogy, family history, and memories of his grandmother that he will forever cherish and honor.

Brooks says, "through these works, I immortalize her name. While she passed for quite some time now, her presence is still felt within my waking life and within the work itself."
