I KNOW WE DON'T READ ANY LONGER, BUT CONSIDER READING THIS
NOTHING BUT GRATITUDE FROM ALL OF US HERE AT THE ART OF ACTIVE NETWORKING, THE BOX SF AND THE BOX SF FESTIVALS!
Mark Sackett here, and I created The Art of Active Networking and and I own The Box SF. After 18 years of producing these events worldwide with my awesome team here including Jake, Melanie and Israel, I just wanted to say thank you to all the Small Businesses, Startups, Students, Job Seekers and Creators working with us, promoting us and helping each other at these events and beyond!
I am a Creator and Business Owner and have the same struggles as you, I have been blessed to make this my living for over 40 years now living a creative life. Last Thanksgiving I decided to open our beautiful and historic building to produce a monthly Art and Makers Fair and then to hold our monthly Networking Event the very next night! I WILL CONTINUE TO USE THE BUILDING MONTHLY FOR SMALL ARTISTS, MAKERS, FESTIVALS OF ALL TYPES AND AND TO HELP OTHERS FIND THEIR PASSIONATE PURPOSE AND TO SIMPLY THRIVE!
Our primary business is as a Meetings and Events Venue. This coming week in fact we are hosting a 2 day hackathon for Grade School Students, and I will be personally working with and mentoring them as they create ideas in teams of 5. Inspiring and helping Kids is the most important thing we can do in my opinion. Helping others in all walks of life with my abilities is second.
As we are more than half sold out for our August Fair, I invite you to be a part of our community. More important than that, let us know how we can be of help to you. Building a Creative Business is 24/7 and one day at a time. We're here to help as we can.
Our next fair is only two and a half weeks away, and spaces are still available. If you'd like to join us on August 2-3, click HERE.
