Upcoming Events
All of The Maker City events are designed to provide makers, small business owners, and the community with education, connection, and inspiration. We tackle topics related to maker businesses, navigating the next set of pivots, or learning new skills while strengthening our community through connection.
Coming up:
The Grant Blueprint: From Idea to Award - Apr 15 @ 11:30 am
A hands-on workshop led by Casey Fox, designed for makers, creatives, and innovators seeking funding. Learn how to find the right grants, craft compelling proposals, and effectively communicate your impact.
