A special thank you to Ray from The Living Room (@livingroom.dc), who showed us how they use collage workshops to build community in their new space in Mount Pleasant; Chas Wagner (@Paper_dirt) for keeping indie mags alive; Carla Frank (@carlafrankcreative), and the wonderful team at Steadfast Supply (@steadfastsupply) for hosting us in their beautiful gift shop.

And thank you to the entire creative community that came through to celebrate mags, collage, and creative connection with us, including (in order of appearance): Michael Wichita (@michaelwichita), Justine Hirshfeld (@jhirshfeld), Tracee Tibbitts (@traceeeeeeeeeeeee), Ania Siniuk (@ania_sini), Diana García Escobar (@melliofior), among many others.

Stay tuned for the next opportunity to connect through SPD!
