MakerSpace

GVCA is in the process of identifying property that can serve as a community-based makerspace, where creatives come to make art, to meet, to hold workshops, to be creative! 


Our goal is to find a space large enough to have studios for rent, a community room where creatives can store their materials and have space to work, a gallery which would showcase and sell art from members, space for workshops and meetings. 

MakerSpace Guiding Principles

  • Must be self-sustaining
  • Model roughly on Manitou Springs Art Center or other similar spaces
  • Focus on activities not easily done at home
  • Space for tenants and public use with tiered rental fees (for a shelf/locker in a common room, for a larger space, hourly vs. daily vs. monthly)
  • Focus on a few things rather than trying to please everyone
  • Target audience - begin with focus on adults (young, middle-age, elderly)
  • Educational component

MakerSpace Desired Space Needs

  • Access to ample parking (could be offset by adequate public transit)
  • Location - preferably downtown GJ, preferably within/adjacent to GJ Creative District, which mirrors DDA boundaries
  • Start with smaller footprint (decreased cost); can grow over time
  • Procure building first; buildout can occur over time
  • Purchase preferable to lease (unless lease could be long-term - would depend on owner)
