Makerspace YK

Makerspace YK is a registered non-profit in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. We build community with hands-on learning opportunities, access to shared space/tools, and skills-building programs.

What's Happening?

Membership Changes on the Horizon!

This spring we will start shifting to a member-run model to steward the makerspace. This will enable members increased access through 24/7 memberships, avenues to generate income through contract opportunities, and make space for veteran members to share their skills and knowledge with new members!

 

This will be an important step to ensure we can keep the makerspace going and still offer affordable rates for memberships.

Rent our
space!

Individuals and organizations can book the Artspace for community events, workshop, exhibition and more!
