ildsjel is a community for creative people and businesses pursuing their passions and looking to develop, grow, and challenge the dominant structures in their fields. Currently we are creating these opportunities by organizing events that bring artists, musicians, writers, makers, brewers, and culinists together in one space to expand their audience and open them up to new possibilities. We include ourselves in this development as we strive to make this a permanent space which combines aspects of a co-working space, a makers' space, a pop retail space, and an event venue open to performances, markets, and exhibitions.
