Thoughtfully curated for creative entrepreneurs, our Centers for Art and Technology offer state-of-the-art equipment and resources. This is a coworking and incubation space that also offers access to hardware, software, and production facilities chosen specifically for those working in digital media, industrial design, podcasting, film, and other Art & Tech fields.

Our Programs

Like our coworking spaces, our programs and workshops address the particular needs of our region’s creative entrepreneurs. They serve all creatives, from digital media content creators to industrial designers, fine artists, and filmmakers. Topics include business strategy, marketing, communication and promotion, pricing, and client relations. Workshops offer hands-on opportunities to develop, polish, or update skills in photography, film-making, graphic design, game design, and digital media. All are led by recognized professionals and curated to meet the particular needs of small creative businesses.

Our Events

All of our conferences, showcases, exhibits and other events will provide networking and educational opportunities for the region’s creative entrepreneurs. Our events will also increase public awareness of the depth and breadth of innovative and creative services available here in the Appalachian Highlands.
