TRANSFORMING SPACES, UNITING COMMUNITY:

THE RISE OF A BOLD CREATIVE HUB

KOHO is embarking on an inspiring initiative to transform a 3,300 sq ft retail space into a co-creative hub, generously provided by US Bank for the next 2 years and in partnership with the Japantown Task Force/Japantown Cultural District.

Located on the 2nd floor of the East Mall

A blank canvas for creativity to flourish

This project, deeply rooted in community co-creation, will evolve through a series of phases, starting with outreach events to define the programming needs, community build days to physically shape the space, culminating in a grand opening slated for early June.

This endeavor aims to foster a collaborative environment, co-created by the community to serve as a vibrant center for arts, culture, and connection.
