OPEN STUDIO EVENING

Sunday, March 1 from 3-5p

Open Studio Evening at Macon Creek invites neighbors, artists, students, and the curious to wander, linger, and engage with creative work in progress. Studios across the campus open their doors for an evening of conversation, making, and shared discovery, offering a glimpse into the diverse practices that take shape here—from visual art and writing to craft, design, and experimental work.

What makes The Hive special is Macon Creek's genuine commitment to supporting artists—and in our experience, they truly live that mission. We feel supported, encouraged, and inspired here in ways that go beyond just having a desk. The Hive isn't just a co-working space, it's a meaningful asset to the creative community, and we're grateful to be part of it.
