What People Are Saying

“My first-ever-market event was at the Innovation Hub a few years back. One of my first original paintings I ever sold was to somebody who was visiting the Innovation Hub at the time, and that lady told me ‘One day, you are going to be big, so I am going to purchase one of your paintings now.’ I will never forget that moment as she was an important contact I made at the Hub. The Hub is a great place to learn and grow. Many members of the staff have also supported my work, and I can tell you that the Innovation Hub is community.” themokassoexperience.com

“The Innovation Hub in Argenta is a really incredible place. The staff there are very knowledgeable about entrepreneurship, making, and innovating; it is a place that is inclusive for all ages interested in the maker movement.”

“I think we can all agree that the cutest part of our Make It Merry event was seeing our 2023 Fall After-School students participate in the event by selling the pieces they made in class throughout the semester. Our students learned skills such as pottery, fused glass, sewing, jewelry making, and more, and their incredible teachers taught them how to price their handmade items for sale! Needless to say, most of them sold out by the end of the first night at our Make It Merry Event!”
