🌼The Hive RI’s Weekly BUZZ! 🐝

We still have an OFFICE available in The Hive & four other spaces in the mill!

🐝 May event at The Hive RI: Please join us on Tuesday, May 9th at noon as we shine a Spotlight on DEI: Shedding light on how Festival Ballet Providence is working to transform the art of ballet for a modern audience through DEI actions. Valerie Cookson-Botto, Director of Community Engagement will discuss how barriers from ballet’s history are being transformed at Festival Ballet Providence to evolve the art form into one that is more reflective of a diverse, equitable and inclusive society. She will discuss the journey from acknowledging the past and identifying barriers to building bridges for transformation.  And, Jennifer Lima will bring a local look into DEI initiatives in North Kingstown and the results of the recent equity audit. Bring your stories about how DEI is transforming your business decisions and questions about pathways forward for a brighter future.  ***To register or for more information, click here.

🐝 Offices available!
One of the offices in The Hive is still available & we have multiple spaces to choose from in the Rodman Building, as well as one in the Shewatuck Building!

Interested🤔
Please reach out to me at tunischartner@gmail.com or to Mike Baker at advanprop@aol.com or call him at 401-255-7413.  You can also just respond to this email!

The Hive office is $350 per month and only requires a ‘last month’ deposit so is really month to month.  The other offices require a lease of a year or more but Mike can work with you on that.  We have a break room in The Hive with a full sized refrigerator/freezer, a microwave and we provide coffee/tea.  The Hive’s breakroom is available to Hive coworking and office members, but it is also there for any of our mill community office tenants. As you know from these emails, we have monthly events including art shows, a waterfall right outside our door and there are miles and miles of walking/biking/running trails in Ryan Park right behind us!

🐝 It is really a great place to work, come join us!
