Catalyst Space hosts programs and events to support creativity, community, and thriving local arts & culture. Our events are free and open to everyone, because creativity belongs to all of us.

Write-and-Draw

A welcoming, weekly generative gathering for artists and writers to come together and create in community without expectation or judgment. Facilitators in both visual and literary arts are always present to offer inspiration and encouragement. 

Hit Submit!

Sending out your work is its own success regardless of outcome. Once a month, join us in setting fear and procrastination aside to submit your work to current open calls. Facilitators are present to offer encouragement and advice, and we celebrate each completed submission with high-fives, cheers, and applause. 

Level Up (COMING SOON!)

Our Level Up events are designed to support professional advancement. Offerings include skill-building workshops, roundtables/Q&As, and reading and exhibition opportunities for public presentation of in-progress and finished work.

Come hang out!
