You Now Have Access to Our Creative Spaces Directory
Brought to You by Tomatokind's Editorial Adventures & Reader Submissions
Hello from The Void! (a.k.a Dec 27-30 — when no one knows what day it is…)
I hope this finds you in something soft and cozy, and munching on a sweet or savory treat.
(I just finished some leftover banana bread, topped with a generous dollop of Nutella.)
Looking to Get Cozy and Creative This Winter?
Around the same time last year, we launched our Little Album of Small-Business Adventures where we shared 39 reader-nominated businesses and experiences across the country in the following categories:
NATURE & CULINARY ADVENTURES
ARTS, GIFTS, & MARKETPLACES
APPAREL, FABRICS, & ACCESSORIES
PERSONAL CARE & MOVEMENT
BOOKS, PAPER, & MUSIC
This year, though, I want to deliver something that can evolve with this community — something that is interactive and usable on the daily basis for creatives of all types.
So, for the past few months, we have been collecting recommendations from our entire creative network and compiling a first edition of Tomatokind’s Creative Spaces Directory.
About the Creative Spaces Directory: a living, community-built map of creative spaces, studios, and hideaways — curated from our editorial adventures at Tomatokind Magazine and reader submissions. Think of it as “Yelp” for creatives! Here, you’ll find local co-ops and collectives, artist co-working spaces, creative services, gathering places, and creative event venues - updated every quarter.
The map currently includes 80 establishments across the continental US spread across 4 categories:
CREATIVE WORKSPACES
EXPERIENCES
STUDIOS & TALENT
GATHERING SPACES & RETAIL
So, if you’re looking for a space to do your art or creative thinking this winter (alone or with others), click into the map and check out what spaces others in the community love!
And, if you don’t see your favorite local spot in the directory, reply to me with the establishment name and location and we’ll make it happen →
