Hello!

As usual, there is a lot going on at WORK_SPACE and you are invited to be a part of the excitement. Today (if you should be reading this on October 8^th) we are open from 10a-2p for our monthly 2^nd Saturday Open House featuring Musicians from Imagine Main Street and INSIGHT³, a beautiful and emotion-provoking 3-woman exhibit that deals with issues of identity, trauma, and the power of self-expression. Down the street you can visit the fabulous vendor market outside the Firestone Studio & Cafe and all along Main Street you can view the 50 different Scarecrows in the Downtown Manchester Scarecrow Festival (take a picture with our ScareCo-Workers and share it with #workspacemanch.)

We are happy to give you a tour of our 2 ½ story historic building that has been transformed into a municipally run coworking, meeting, and gallery space which is home to dozens of businesses and amazing art. Speaking of art, in addition to our permanent Gallery Shop, we will be hosting a Holiday Pop-Up vendor market at our next 2^nd Saturday on Nov. 12^th and exhibiting our 4^th annual PERSPECTIVES art show (submissions due 10/28). Supporting local talent is great motivation to come downtown for brunch, shopping and a gallery visit.

For those seeking a professional space to grow your business, WORK_SPACE has one private office available, multiple meeting venues, and a digital story studio. Want to experience coworking just for a day? Through November, we are offering Free Working Wednesdays where you can claim a desk in our creative commons from 10a-4p and finally finish that thing that has been on your To Do list for too long.

Variety is the norm not the exception at WORK_SPACE. To inquire if we offer the space and resources you need, just call us (860-647-6029.) And to read more about the importance of Variety as a value, scroll down to my blog which is back after a long hiatus.

Be well and be kind,

Stacey Zackin, WORK_SPACE Manager
