“I think it is one of the largest and one of the most creative Maker Spaces that I have experienced. My work in the Creative Economy has brought me in touch with many maker spaces around the country, and few of them have the kind of dedicated space that LaunchSpace has to different media (i.e., wood, metal, glass, paper, ceramics, etc.), and few of them have the breadth of programming that LaunchSpace has.
I’ve also been impressed that LaunchSpace has been so strategic and deliberate in creating the space and making it available to the arts and creative community. In other words, the leadership was sure to secure funding for the space and had an organizational foundation in place before it officially opened and became operational. Too often, maker spaces rush to open their doors without going through the due diligence that LaunchSpace did.”
