Director’s Note: January 2025

Elaine Lamson, Executive Director

Dear Mixxer Makers,

As we step into 2025, I’m thrilled to reflect on the incredible strides we’ve made together and the exciting opportunities ahead. This past year, your generosity and commitment to our mission were truly inspiring. Thanks to your support, our year-end fundraiser surpassed its $10K goal! This success fuels our vision for the new year.

Our 2025 Resolution, Community Care: Care for each other, ourselves, and our space, embodies the spirit of Mixxer. It’s a reminder that fostering a thriving creative community starts with intentional care and connection.

To this end, I’m excited to share two new initiatives:

Our Volunteer Program:

We're launching a structured volunteer program to strengthen our collective efforts. Whether through assisting with events, organizing workshops, or maintaining our makerspace, there's a role for everyone to make a tangible impact.

Art & Soul Wellness Initiative: This program integrates art and wellness, offering free classes and creative opportunities to those facing socioeconomic challenges. Together, we’ll explore the power of creativity to heal, connect, and inspire.

Now go make something amazing!
