It's no secret that Experimental Station (ES) is unique. The Woodlawn space has various tenants but it isn't just art-focused. It’s a museum, it’s a coffee shop, it’s a farmer’s market. When explaining the space to folks who don't live in the area, it can sound like a utopia of sorts, a place where people can create and work alongside one another, a central nervous center of community-focused people working within their neighborhood on projects they are passionate about. Without the employees at ES, there would be no space like the one that exists.
