Our thank yous had to spread across 2 posts:
This one is to the community, every single person who used our space. All 200+ of the studio holders that we've had over the years, all of the hirers and all those who attended in support. Woodburn was made by the people in it and surrounding it.
Admittedly it’s a serious hack to be positioned beside so much talent, there was a constant snowball effect of this creative energy complimenting everything around it. Not sorry to brag. There was always inspiration and encouragement being shared, along with vital support, through trials and tribulations.
We admire, and are forever grateful for the respect and care that everyone had towards the space and towards each other.
It has also been an insanely productive time, there was an inconceivable amount of incredible work created from the building. This work, in all its forms, spread far and wide, reaching and connecting with people way beyond the walls. The contribution that these creatives made to this city is massive and hugely impactful. We’re super proud to be a part of that.
Beyond what work was made, we’re delighted that this space has produced so many great connections, relationships and friends. Who can blame us? A group of people that are curious, who explore, who are reflective, who are expressive and are willing and committed to pursue creative endeavours. We are blessed as a society to have such excellent examples of humans that exude this energy. These are people to honour, cherish and not take for granted.
We feel gratified and extremely nourished to have been able to support these people in their efforts. In all cases whether it was just for a moment, a trial, a stepping stone, a breakthrough, a development or even a failure. We’ve been glad to be a part of the pursuit.
