Sarah Turner Seminary InternStarting in June 2013, V&M partnered with Community Arts Create to start the Hillman City Collaboratory: a social change incubator. It is the focal point of our efforts to create a center for creative liberation in our city and it is also where we gather for Celebrations on Sunday afternoon.
Located in the heart of Hillman City, a diverse and historic neighborhood in south Seattle, the Collaboratory is currently home to over 24 different social change organizations, an art gallery, a learning kitchen, an urban farm, a homeless drop-in center, and a lot more.
