This seems like a good post for today - in a little while I’m finally going out to the Art Shanties!
Intermedia ArtsHub
Intermedia Arts is opening a co-working space “designed to spark collaborations and support creative people who are tackling the social, environmental, economic and cultural challenges we face today.” I’m not sure I’m one of those people, but I’m very excited about this idea. There’s a launch party tomorrow night.
(Other Twin Cities co-working spaces: The 3rd place, CoCo, Joule. Am I missing anything?)
Update: Via @swirlspice, two more.
