A new maker space is coming to Hayward, located downtown in a building behind the Sun Gallery (1015 E Street). The space hosts its all-ages ribbon cutting and opening party Saturday the 12th from 1pm to 4pm, and this will include food trucks, beverages, music, gourmet coffee, live bands, and of course, a chance to tour and view the new space! 

Funded by the Hayward People's Budget and built by a team of dedicated community volunteers from Hayward Techies and Makers Club and the Sun Gallery community, the Sun Gallery Makerspace offers supplies and workspace for creators, artists and builders. These include a laser cutter, cricut machine, 3-D printers, LED electronics, a tool shop, and more in the very near future. The party will take place in an outside area with an event stage, bistro tables, lighting and colorful murals. 

The goal is for the space to become a community gathering space and idea incubator for people of all ages as much as an art and tech workshop. 

The Sun Gallery's Art Meets Tech exhibit will also open the same day and people will be able to tour the gallery and view a variety of art projects from Bay Area locals that combine art and technology.
