Welcome
to
MakerSpace NC
In partnership with SafeSpace NC, we are proud to offer a unique and welcoming makerspace for emerging artists in the heart of downtown Raleigh, especially those from marginalized communities.
In addition to our workshops, our MakerSpace program provides you with studio space to create your own work, for artists and makers of all skill levels! Our Studio Fee covers the use of our equipment, including a heat press and vinyl cutter. We also offer supplies and products for purchase, as well as a free art supplies shelf powered by the community.

Studio time must be booked in advance using the calendar below, or pop by during our drop-in studio hours - no appointment needed!
