Join us at the Near North Makerspace on Friday, May 22 for an Artist Talk with our current Artist in Residence, Cell Driver.

Over the past 17 weeks, Cell has not only been developing their own work, but has also played a major role in shaping the Near North Makerspace into a more welcoming, creative, and engaging space. From the atmosphere to the details, much of what makes the space feel the way it does today reflects their time, care, and creativity. They’ve also helped build community through programs like the Digital Guild drop-in sessions.

While their residency is coming to an end, we’re excited that this isn’t the end of their time with us as they step into a new role as Makerspace Co-Coordinator.

Before that transition, join us for this end-of-residency artist talk.

Connect with Cell, ask questions, and get a closer look at work created throughout the residency.

📍 Near North Makerspace
📅 Friday, May 22
🕕 Doors: 6:00 PM
🗣 Talk: 7:00 – 7:30 PM
💬 Q&A: 7:30 – 8:00 PM

Followed by chit chat, crafts, and refreshments.

Come hang out, get inspired, and celebrate creativity with us.

🎟 This is a free event, but RSVP is required.
