Creative Community Center
A permanent creative home in downtown Bridgeport with recording, podcast, photo and animation studios, a maker space and open coworking.
We're launching in phases. First, pop-up studio access through partner spaces so members can create now. Then, a permanent hub big enough for the whole community, with parking, events space and room to grow.
