my vision for working space

Stone Soup is the place I volunteer presently few hours every week. Met some real interesting people there. I do not know how to articulate what the place is about so I have copied a call they just floated to give an idea of what that place is about

- Community Groups looking for meeting/office space

A membership-supported autonomous space.
Building community through art and activism.
JOIN USStone Soup is a membership-based organization committed to three areas of focus: the arts, community, and affordable housing. Within these areas we strive for self-sustaining, economically accessible spaces and educational activities that are open to neighbors, activists, community groups, and artists. Inspired by principles of inclusion, collective participation, and universal affordability, we will be an example of how creative community development of and for the people can stimulate local economies while being and active force against gentrification.
