A Creative Space
sort of private, sort of public
Located in South St. Louis
Membership. Events. Individuals. Groups.
Definition of a third space:
“Locations that facilitate social interaction outside of the people you live or work with and encourage “public relaxation”. They are places where you encounter “regulars,” or frequenters of a space, as well as potential new connections.”
-from the book, The Great Good Place, by sociologist Ray Oldenberg
Meet New People
The nature of 3rdSpace means you will likely run into new folks with similar and overlapping interests. It’s truly amazing to see how people are much more connected than they realize.
Reconnect
“…Americans of every age, gender, ethnicity and income are hanging out less than ever. Leisure time is decreasing; screen time is increasing. Our “third places” — locations outside of home and work that enable socialization — are disappearing, and with them, so is our greater sense of community. Former U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy diagnosed us with a “social recession.””
-Shaunice Ajiwe
You decide
Get out of it what you want; come to create, just relax, work on your own projects or help share skills and learn new things. There is real potential for serendipity and collaboration.
