1. Life Creative
Life Creative, a new space in Event Creative's headquarters, opened in July. The 20,000-square-foot venue is billed as a co-working and maker space; it holds corporate events, off-site teambuilding activities, and other functions that require a creative touch. For the "maker" crew, there's an in-house carpentry department, a CNC router that can carve designs, design software, and other amenities. The co-working space is decorated with props that have been used at Event Creative events—think an elevated "L" track replete with a miniature train car, and massive letters that spell out Wine. The venue holds standing receptions for 350 in its co-working space. A circular couch that holds creative meetings seats 36, while the media screening room seats 40. Finally, a "floating conference room"—a lofty space with couches, a pool table, and a foosball table—seats 20. The venue plans to add GIF booths and beacons soon.
