We’ve learned a lot this year. Other organizations, creative practitioners (or “residents”) in our studios, event hosts, even people who drop in for a coffee sometimes say things that make us think differently, feel good, or leaves us questioning everything.

We haven’t written all those down, but, here are a few other things we found inspiring this year.
