The New Settlers
Get together on a brisk Fall evening with friends and neighbors as they help to raise money for the Carrboro ArtsCenter.

The ArtsCenter began more than 25 years ago, and was known as "The ArtSchool," a single painting class. Today, The ArtsCenter serves more than 50,000 people each year. It is unique in that it serves both professionals and amateurs through its wide variety of programs, events and classes, but it has also extended its arm to other members of the community by developing outreach programs such as the Latino, African American and People with Disabilities Initiatives. Generous funding from the Orange County Arts Commission and the Human Services Agency of Orange County, has allowed The ArtsCenter to sponsor pro-bono or reduced-rate arts programs for underserved populations that are vital to our community.

However, this community centric not-for-profit has outgrown their capacity and we want to make their vision for a new ArtsCenter a reality by hosting this Autumn themed evening filled with socializing, presentations and Q&A. We hope that small business owners, investors and entrepreneurs will band together for this special cause.

We ask that you bring your checkbooks, or cash for the festive fundraiser activity. Special thanks to Brian Russell who offered up his great co-working space for this event.

This event is something I've been dreaming about for a few years now. I’m really looking forward to the opportunity to publicly thanks people for helping me launch this business.

Thursday, Oct 23, 2008 from 6:30pm to 8pm CCC will be hosting Refresh the Triangle. This is a great meetup that I've been to several times. (Not nearly as often as I'd like though.) Each time I've learned something valuable and met great people. We'll have free pizza and drinks too.

Our topic is Unearthed Arcana for Web People. From the Refresh website:

Clinton Nixon, senior developer at Viget Labs, will present and facilitate this talk about how to avoid trivial, repetitive tasks and increase your productivity with your computer. We’ll cover both software you already have, and free/cheap software you might not. If you’ve got a tip of your own, bring it! We’ll have some free time to share at the end.

Check out all our events on our Google Calendar. Many more on the way!

Carrboro Creative Coworking is not set up yet but a bunch of folks have asked, "When can we see it?". So this Thursday Sept. 4 from 6 PM - 8PM I'll be at the space. So come on by and check out the new carpet and paint. (Exciting huh?)

This is mainly to show folks who are interested in becoming a coworker. The BIG party will be in October after we open.
