Hi, I’m Mesha —writer, event producer, and former bartender turned arts organizer. After 20 years in the service industry and two degrees in writing, I founded a project that brings local artists and small businesses together to create in-person workshops, co-working spaces, and creative events in underused venues.

This project was born out of a realization: there’s an abundance of beautiful, underused space in local restaurants and venues—and a painful lack of accessible, in-person writing and arts programming outside of academia. I saw the potential to bridge that gap.

At its heart, this work is about reclaiming physical space for creativity and connection. In a time when isolation has become normalized, I believe we need to gather—in real life, in shared spaces—now more than ever.

Whether you're looking to take a class, lead one, or host a residency in your venue, I invite you to join us in building a more connected, creative, and collaborative local community.
