Welcome Back, Bloomfield! 👋

Welcome to the Creative Chem Co. newsletter; we’re so excited you’re here.

These past few weeks have been a WHIRLWIND! Last Friday, we had an insane turnout for our event in collaboration with Frontline Dignity, and we rolled that energy right into Saturday with our Right to Write pop-up.

We are so elated (and humbled!) that Creative Chem Co. has become a space not only to host our amazing creative community, but also to host such important mobilization efforts. We hope to have many more events like these ones in the future.

Here’s the docket for today’s newsletter:

  • Upcoming events at the space

  • Staff Spotlight: Amethy

  • Community Corner: What our members are working on

If there’s something you’d like to see more of in this newsletter, feel free to respond and let us know. Like any true creative, we are constantly experimenting with new things.

Without further ado, let’s get into the good stuff:
