We held our first Lab Hours session at Intermedia Arts' ArtsHub facility. The atmosphere of the open gallery space was an interesting and inspiring change. The experience was so positive we're making the change permanent. Look for Lab Hours at ArtsHub from now on beginning next week! In the meantime, check out what we worked on in the Lab Pad transcript below.
