Lifes A Pitch.

Haiku

A new movement

A creative collective

A space to create.

Our business proposition

Really excited about our groups ideas. So far our idea is to create and environment which makes art and creativity accessible to all. We want to have a space with either hot desks or studio spaces for rent for up and coming creatives. The studio spaces will be affordable, especially for people who are fresh out of uni and who need a place to work. Another idea would be to have walls that are easy to take out, so that if you felt you needed a bigger space to rent it would be easy to give two spaces for a little extra money. 

A very large table would also be placed in the studio area in order for meetings or collaborative projects. Also a separate room for workshops would be in the space, which could be held by the people renting in order to fund their own practice.

Next to this, possible separated with a glass wall so that people can see the creativity being created behind the scenes, would be a really beautiful coffee shop, but not just any ordinary coffee shop. This  coffee shop would be filled with tables and chairs that are practical to work at as well as relax, on each table would be stacks of paper and pots of pens for anyone to be creative while they sip their delicious coffee. 

Its ideally going to be a great place for people to do their work and feel inspired in. 

In the coffee shop we would sell various products that are made in the studios and elsewhere, and we would also have a space to hold gigs and other similar events. Anything that gets people to the space and makes them realise who we are and what we do will be extra income. 

We will have a great outdoor space, a bit more of a place to kick back and relax, with swing ball to take your creative anger out on. A big wall for graffiti artists will also be in the outdoor area, as well as fire bits and of course, fairy lights for ambience!

If our business takes off, we would also like to invest in a van that drives around to youth clubs and schools and sets up fun and innovative workshops for children who perhaps don't get the opportunity to be creative. We want to make a difference with what we do. 

We want to be community driven.
