Building Community Through Collaborative Connections in Lynn.

The Coffee with the Collective series has become an essential monthly gathering where Essex County business owners come together as community builders. These collaborative gatherings bring together entrepreneurs, creators, consultants, service providers, and innovators from across industries - all united by their belief that business success includes contributing to our region's vibrancy.

Our July gathering will be hosted at RAW Art Works.

RAW Art Works - @rawartworkslynn

RAW Art Works is a creative youth development organization rooted in art therapy, located in Lynn and serving over 400 youth annually in grades 4-12. RAW's mission is to ignite the desire to create and confidence to succeed by providing free programming in visual arts, filmmaking, leadership development, and career exploration. Using art to ask youth "What's really going on?" in their lives, RAW creates a safe space where kids feel seen and heard, build meaningful relationships with peers and staff, and discover new possibilities for their futures through painting, collage, film, photography, and more.
