Help support SDA member Betty Vera in fundraising for The North Adams Makerspace, called Makers’ Mill.
Makers’ Mill is expected to open in downtown North Adams as early as April, with two initial studio areas during Phase 1: Printmaking and Fiber. As Makers’ Mill grows, we’ll expand to larger physical space and more studio disciplines. To raise start-up funding, we have launched an IndieGoGo fundraising campaign.
As a member of the Makers’ Mill Board, I invite all SDA members to support this creative community initiative in North Adams. Here’s how you can help:
1) Please go to North Adams Makerspace on Facebook, “Like” our page, and keep returning to check on updates.
2) Help us reach our fundraising goal on IndieGoGo! Tax-deductible contributions can be in any amount. Early contributors may receive special perks in appreciation for their support–but these perks are limited in number and may go fast. So please jump on in and help! For your convenience, here is a direct link:

Thanks in advance for your support!
