“My time at The Hub Collective has moulded me into a better version of myself. My role made me aware of the spectacular local market of handcrafted items and the range of artisans that are creating. I was able to give back to my community, develop my writing, and gain a deeper appreciation for art and photography through my work. I found myself being more creative, confident in myself and communicative.”

– Jessica King, 2016 Film Program Participant and Former Shop Coordinator
