Our community

Our beautiful workspaces are nothing without the community of creatives that call them home from home.

Since opening the doors to our first Gather Round, building a community of creatives has been at the heart of our mission. We’re passionate about bringing together collectives of diverse creative people that together, champion a culture of openness, inclusivity and solidarity.
