The Hatchery | Intro

This new project is one that I am SO excited to start. We showed up to class about a week ago, and a grad student, miss Ashley Boycher, was waiting patiently to start her presentation. A while ago, I'm not sure how long, some people in Greensboro collaborated to design a space in downtown Greensboro that would showcase student work, as well as let people buy some of it. This space is called "The Hatchery." It would have four different spaces within it: A retail space for student work to be sold to the public; A collaboration area that would allow people from different departments to, well, collaborate, and create art together using their different skills; A consultation area for students to meet with clients; and an exhibition/performance space, which is pretty self explanatory.

It's an amazing idea because this space would bridge gaps between departments, as well as let the Greensboro community know what is going on within the walls of UNCG. Our whole city is known for its artistic vibe, and this space would only accentuate that.
