Make It Take It: A creative happy hour to be held on October 18

Join WMCAT for a creative happy hour, Make It Take It, on Thursday, October 18 from 6-9 pm for appetizers, drinks, music, and creative activities!

The Rapidian's Nonprofits section features stories written directly by local nonprofits about their work. These stories reflect their perspectives, not The Rapidian's editorial voice.

Make It Take It is a different way to network, catch up with friends and see the new WMCAT space on the Westside - all while supporting a culture of opportunity at WMCAT. By attending Make It Take It, attendees will directly increase equitable outcomes for our students and their families here in West Michigan.

Make It Take It is not an event to stand around and wait to meet people, but one that mixes creativity and networking into a casual happy hour. This completely hands-on experience offers access to WMCAT's arts and technology studios where attendees will be encouraged to make their own art. Staff will guide guests through studio projects. And remember, creations go home with attendees - after all, that’s why it's named Make It Take It!

Get ready to hear vinyl beats from Grand Rapids Soul Club, taste some unique appetizers from various local establishments, and enjoy a complimentary drink. Additional drink tickets will be available for purchase.
