Join us for MakerDate!
Step into the future with us for this year’s MakerDate: a live & silent date auction fundraiser for Assemble’s free STEAM education programs!
The MakerDate Auction is Assemble’s largest fundraiser, held every other year. This year, it will take place on September 7th at The Maverick. It takes the idea of a “date auction” & turns it upside-down to match people with local artists, crafters, technologists, & experts across many fields to learn a new skill or craft something amazing! It’s like a play-date for grown-ups! Attendees bid through live & silent auctions to connect with a local expert who will guide them on a making adventure. You could craft a unique piece of jewelry, practice portrait photography, make nostalgic spin-art, learn the intricacies of beer brewing, or even create an edible painting – there will be so much to explore with MakerDate!
The theme for MakerDate 2024 is The Future!
We invite everyone to join the fun in costume!
Monies raised during the night will support Assemble’s free educational programming to empower people to create, connect, learn, & transform together. The possibilities are endless at MakerDate. It’s truly an experiential event!
