The people make the place
Members work out of the Office, contribute to the culture, organize events, and create uncommissioned works – while also running their own independent professional practice. Membership is required to have regular access to the space.
Full-time members
Full-time members run their practice from the Office, with personal storage and desk space, while sharing common resources.
Part-time members
Part-time members are based elsewhere, but use the space for collaborative working, meetings and to make use of the resources in the Office (books, space, people).
