PAR- Education: Growth in 2025

In 2025, PAR-Projects is excited to continue two of our recently launched educational programs:  The Link Up and our quarterly Lunch & Learn series. Both programs were launched in 2024 and were met with enthusiasm by our Northside and creative communities. If you are unfamiliar with either program, see their descriptions below!     

The Link Up is a monthly networking event held on the third Thursday of each month. These gatherings alternate between evening happy hours and morning get-togethers over coffee and pastries. Held in The Gallery at Studeō PAR-, this program is geared toward local & regional creatives — as well as creative entrepreneurs — who are interested in building their network as well as energizing their peers in the maker's community!

What if you're not a creative? Doesn't matter, this program welcomes all who want to share time and space.   

Lunch & Learn is a quarterly 90-minute seminar series geared toward introducing attendees to a wide range of topics that lie at the intersection of creativity and entrepreneurship, including workshops on brand building, podcasting, screen-printing, and even best practices for Excel documentation.

The arts world is broad, and we are on board for all of it! Oh, and lunch is provided free of charge, though donations are never turned away. While our first quarter workshop has come and gone, the next 2025 workshops will take place in May, August, and November.

On Thursday May 15h we'll be welcoming guest educator Mike James. Keep up with us here, our website, and/or social media for more details!
