This past Saturday evening was an exciting one for us residents & artists in the neighborhoods of South Kensington, Northern Liberties, & Fishtown. The doors of 3rd Ward were finally open to the public, and we finally got to check out the space that's been in progress for nearly two years.
With local Spodee Wine punch or beer in hand, folks got a chance to explore all three floors of the co-working, classroom, & workshop spaces. While the rooms still remain completely bare for the most part, the co-working room & roof deck certainly stole the show. And the lack of furniture and equipment allowed one to focus on the gorgeous exposed brick and details from this old, historical church turned factory.
For those unfamiliar with 3rd Ward, it's a collaborative/co-working/arts education space that's orginially based in Brooklyn and a haven for interesting classes, workshops, and networking opportunities. The Brooklyn 3rd Ward holds a very special place in my heart - I learned Photoshop & Dreamweaver there in 2006 when we lived in Bushwick! Considering it's a block away from where I currently live now in Philly, I hope to use it to its full potential.
Wanna check it out? You can use their co-working space for free starting tomorrow through May 3rd. RSVP here.
