Welcome back to the Creative Chem Co. newsletter! We’re so excited you’re here.

Lately, we’ve been thinking a lot about the concept of third spaces. It’s the idea that everyone needs a place that's neither home nor the office.

We got a little recognition recently for being exactly that kind of place in Bloomfield, alongside some of our awesome neighbors, like our partners at Third Space Bakery.

While it's always nice to be seen, what it really did was remind us why we do this. In our opinion, the world has enough sterile coworking spots with motivational wall art.

What it doesn't have enough of are places where people from all creative fields (painters, photographers, content creators, graphic designers, writers) can gather to genuinely connect.

That's the experiment we're running over here on Friendship Ave, and we’re so glad you're part of it.

Here’s a little peek into today’s docket:

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:

Sam is a full-time freelance content marketing specialist, which is basically just code for “person who really loves to play on their phone.”

She’s also writing this email, so if you hate it, keep it to yourself. It’ll hurt her feelings.
