01/The connection

The state connection

The state home helps people discover chapters, bring a project to CRE8, and propose a chapter in another North Carolina city. Local teams shape the work and gatherings around the people who will use them.

Durham explores a studio and collaboration model, starting with creative projects and sessions in partner spaces. Each new chapter can develop around its own community.
