“Studying fine arts is a totally different college experience for us artists. We were given giant studios with endless supplies and tools to create things TOGETHER as a group. We’d often pick up a 6-pack of beer and head into the studios. Some of us would be screen printing, others would be painting, while the rest are building sculptures. It was a beautiful experience of making things in a social setting and supportive community with other artists. It’s something I want everyone to experience, not just those who consider themselves creative.” With a gratefulness for the social community which art school at the University of Cincinnati brought her, Meg wanted to bring the gift of “art school” to Columbus, bringing a similar environment with workbench tables, more than 30 DIY projects available, and a full bar.

In January of 2020, Makers Social officially opened its doors to the public! We’re proud to stand by our mission to provide an environment where our guests can be truly present with one another to laugh together, make stuff, and feel accomplished in their projects.
