January 2019 Clambake @ Sprout CoWorking Providence
Jan 29 @ 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Clambake is a gathering for designers, creatives, and those who like design and want to know more. It’s a time to get together, network, and hear about some of the cool new design work that is happening in RI. Two presenters from two different design disciplines present each month. Presentations are generally 15 minutes followed by Q&A.

Since 2018, Clambake has been traveling around RI. Are there any designers/creatives in RI you’d like to nominate to be a Clambake speaker? Any cool spaces in RI we should host a Clambake? Let us know!

In January, we’re at Sprout Coworking in Providence. As Sprout’s visitors, we can access any of the four Rising Sun Mills campus parking lots around the building. There are many street parking available as well.

See the work of our speakers on the Facebook Event and register today!
