What is the Carousel House?

One of the most asked question…And here is the answer.
•
It is a place that houses art & culture, history and community. It is a place to connect, create, be curious and messy, be inspired, to make magic, to move, to share and to be joyful and alive.
•
Some people see it as an empty building that “used to be”, but if you are lucky, you will experience something there that makes you realize that is it far from empty, in fact, it is full. And it is exactly what it needs to be.
•
Thank you to all for helping make a truly inspiring opening weekend of this truly magical space.
•
Special thanks to all those who created such amazing events and super special thanks to @north2shore for support of our community of creators. Connection is so very important these days, real life experiences that enrich us is where it’s at ❤️
