Kalamazoo Makerspace provides an ideal venue for events that promote creativity, learning, and community. Whether you're organizing a workshop to teach a new skill, hosting a user group meeting, planning a craft circle, or running a technical presentation, our space is available to members at no additional cost.
We've hosted a diverse range of events including our regular fiber arts group where members gather for knitting, crocheting, and other textile crafts, as well as the Kalamazoo Linux Users Group for open source technology discussions. These regular meetups have become valued parts of our community, bringing together people with shared interests in a welcoming, creative environment.
Our facility is equipped to support various types of gatherings, from intimate group meetings to larger workshops and demonstrations. The space is flexible and can be arranged to suit your event's needs, whether that's classroom-style seating for a workshop, round tables for collaborative work, or an open layout for demonstrations and hands-on activities.
We welcome events that promote a maker spirit, learning, creativity, and community building. To ensure the best experience for all members and maintain our facility, all events are subject to prior approval.
