I am so excited to announce that I am moving my business out of my apartment and becoming a member of the Guildwerks Artists Collective Warehouse! This is an incredible space that will facilitate larger classes, but also puts me in a wonderful workspace with lots of amazing creatives!
I have an old history with the property itself, which is located on York Street between 38th and 40th Avenues. Many years ago I was part of a CoHousing group called August Green that was offered the York Street property by the City of Denver for $1. We toured this property many times and spent over a year developing a plan to create a community of creatives at this site. In the end, we could not pull it off due to the $1 million in abatement required because this was a Superfund site that had never been cleaned up. But, here we are 15 years later and I'm going to be doing exactly what I set out to in the very same location! It's a thrilling day for me! I love synchronicity!
So thanks to Jim Barter and Lynn Strutton for having such a great vision and working toward creating such great community space!
I should be completely moved over into the new space by end of next week!
AWESOME!!!!! So it took you 15 years and here you are, full circle. You developed your business, manifested your creative dreams and now this one, one of the ones you had let go, has come back around. FANTASTIC!!!! I am just SOOOOO EXCITED for you!!!!! I look forward to seeing what you create now that you will be surrounded by fellow creatives. EXCELLENT!
