Makespace

The Packback team is full of creators who paint, write, and perform. Born out of a simple idea that if we cannot fully express ourselves and explore our passions, then we cannot be our fullest and most vibrant selves at work, the team at Packback launched MakeSpace. MakeSpace is a monthly open mic and open walls event where makers of all types come and share early experimental works in an environment that is supportive and generative.
