I Have Worked With

Arts Riot

Generator and Arts Riot have partnered on numerous occasions. They support us by hosting food and drink for our monthly social events.

Nancy Dwyer

Nancy Dwyer is a nationally recognized artist that was selected for Generator’s “makers in residence” program. Makers in residence receive a $1000 stipend to support their work and are asked to provide two talks to the Generator community, one to introduce their work and the second to summarize their experience and share the result. Makers in residence are asked to contribute a work or documentation of their output to Generator at the end of their residency.

Ignite A Maker

Generator hosts the Ignite A Maker program. A teacher is selected and hosted to use a studio space and expand her educational opportunities in Rapid Prototyping, Electronics, Jewelry or Metal work.
