Buffalo Creative Workshop is a creative hub for all of Buffalo. We offer daily drop-in co-working for creative work & hobbies, classes, workshops, community events, drag shows, and so much more.
This is our first planned annual campaign, focused on raising funds to sponsor memberships for artists in Buffalo. These funds will help us keep BCW operating AND allow us to provide a no-cost membership to local artists in need of this support.
BCW Memberships are a way for creators who need access to stable workspace, tools, and resources for an affordable price. Currently, we offer Apprentice, Pro, and Master level memberships on monthly and annual plans.
Curious about what a BCW Membership includes?
For every $125 donated Master level membership will be donated to a local creator. Every $1,250 sponsors a FULL YEAR membership for a local artist!
We believe that money should never stop someone from enjoying art. Sadly financial barriers do keep people from creating far too often. If you share in this belief, then we invite you to become a modern-day patron of the arts.
