Meet the Team

We believe that art is a celebration of our humanity. We believe that art is about community, a place where we can share our feelings.

We believe that art is for everyone and that everyone should have access to art.

We encourage artists of all ages and from all backgrounds.

How’d we get here?

November 2022

A Great Good Space was dreamed up by two artist friends, Denise and Jeannine.

We met in our high school art class. The years passed by - we went to different universities, traveled, and worked abroad, studied some more, and after it all, found ourselves in the same city again.

A few months ago, over coffee and pastries, naturally, we thought up a Great Good Space: a place to share our love of art, a space where art is for everyone.

Thank you for meeting us here!

See you at our next Great Good event.

xoxo Denise and Jeannine
