Add an event to our calendar!

We want our calendar to grow into a public hub for creative event listings. If you have a creative event to share, we'd probably like to promote it. Please submit your event for review!

Have an event idea?

We would love to connect you with our community partners and help you bring a workshop, class or event to life.

We see the need in our community for a
"third Space."

About Us

Who we are

The Making Place is organized by volunteers and a "working board." We are a group of local artists, makers and professionals alike working to create a makerspace for our community.

What we do

We are a new nonprofit organization working to start a makerspace  in The Flathead Valley. We began with a public interest survey in October 2023 and have come a long way since. We will be moving into our first physical location June 1st.

A public house where people can learn skills and practice their craft
