Interested in Joining Passable?

Passable is a not-for-profit, arts-oriented makerspace in the heart of Capitol Hill on 10th and Union, with shared spaces, resources, and events optimized for a collaborative community at the intersection of art, technology — and pinball! We are seeking members whose creative interests are aligned with our mission: to have fun innovating together, and sharing our work through creative exhibitions and events. The social aspect of our space is very important to us, so you might think of us as 80% collaboration space, and 20% social club.
