The premise behind the club is to offer a space where dynamic minds in all different fields (primarily photography, writing, architecture and design) can meet, foster and nourish their creativity with other like-minded individuals. The original San Francisco location currently has a steady 300 members; a number which is steadily increasing. The team behind Makeshift Society wants to recreate the success in a Williamsburg location. The project currently has nearly $5,000 in donations, and hopes to hit $30, 000 by October 31st. If you’re a creative professional living in the city, or have enough spending money to support creative professionals in the city, definitely check out this Kickstarter campaign and donate! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.3/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Creative Clubhouses:** Opportunity for creating shared creative spaces for professionals in various fields to collaborate and foster creativity. - **Dynamic Networking:** Opportunity to establish a platform that connects professionals from different industries to encourage collaboration and idea-sharing. - **Nurturing Creativity:** Opportunity to create environments that provide resources and support for individuals to explore and develop their creative pursuits. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Co-working Spaces:** Disruptive innovation opportunities to create co-working spaces specifically designed for creative professionals in various fields. - **Community Building:** Opportunity for businesses to focus on building supportive communities and networks for professionals in creative industries. - **Creative Education:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to develop educational programs or institutions that foster creativity and multidisciplinary collaboration. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Exclusive Membership Club Openings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soho-house.md) - [Creative Collaboration Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dazed-club.md) - [Avant-Garde Coffee Table Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decentralization-please-save-culture.md) - [Alcohol-Free Members Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maze-nyc.md) - [Creative Pop-Up Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-popup-hub.md) - [Abstract Fantasy Home Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abstract-fantasy-home.md) - [Mental Illness-Focused Clubhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-houses.md) - [Alcohol-Free Members Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alcohol-free-members-club.md) - [Adaptive Community Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spaced-agency.md)
