FALL 2013
OVERVIEW In early 2014, The Skillery is opening Nashville’s premier space for creative freelancers -- a unique facility for collaboration, offline learning and independent work.
!
COWORKING SPACE
CLASSES & WORKSHOPS
COMMUNITY
Create, collaborate, work and grow in our open, flexible coworking space -- a home base for independent professionals and a hub for community growth. Need a steady but not-stuffy place to work? We’ve got you covered.
Broaden your abilities and expand your mind, or spotlight your work by sharing your skills. Our robust calendar of classes and workshops is made for - and crafted by - Nashville’s independent professionals.
The Skillery is where small teams, self-starters and free agents come together to form a broader braintrust and enjoy each other’s company. Regular events are geared toward helping our members meet, connect and network.
!
A HOME FOR THE FREELANCE ECONOMY.
Advancements in technology have made it easier to work from anywhere. And, for those who work at the upper end of their fields, freelance work can be more rewarding and lucrative than a permanent position. At The Skillery, we’re squarely focused on serving and supporting Nashville’s class of independent, creative professionals with a space that nurtures working, learning, collaborating and connecting. With professional resources and steady opportunities for offline learning and creative collaboration, The Skillery won’t simply be a workspace, but a home for creation, inspiration and growth.

WHY JOIN US?
Membership at The Skillery will benefit your workday, and well beyond.
!
FLEXIBLE COWORKING SPACE, DESIGNED FOR YOU.
We’ll have quiet corners in which to focus, open spaces suited for teamwork and conference rooms for meeting and creative collaboration. You can work at desks, standing tables or couches, take breaks in our kitchen or on the outdoor patio. We’re designing The Skillery to meet the broad needs and working styles of the “micro-entrepreneurs” that make up our city’s robust freelance economy. You can work and network, in a setting that suits you.
!
COLLABORATIVE RESOURCES.
We know what it takes to work collaboratively, which is why we’re outfitting our space with meeting rooms, whiteboards, A/V equipment and moveable furniture that’s designed for collaboration. And with an in-house coffee bar (more below), you won’t have to leave to refuel.
!
NASHVILLE’S FINEST COFFEE BAR, IN HOUSE. We’ve invited the folks at Steadfast to open a coffee bar within the space, giving you regular access to delicious drip coffee and espresso beverages. And, as a member of The Skillery, you’ll receive a discount on every purchase.
!
MEMBERS-ONLY PERKS. Discounts at local businesses. Invitations to members-only events. Discounts on classes and workshops. The benefits of membership at The Skillery stretch well beyond access to space.
!
OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN AND GROW. From low-cost evening classes to month-long intensive courses in topics ranging from entrepreneurship to website design to social media marketing, our schedule will be packed with classes and workshops geared at helping you start and grow your creative businesses.
!
FREE PARKING, FREE PRINTING, BLAZING FAST WI-FI AND MORE. We want working at The Skillery to be as awesome and welcoming as possible. If you often work out of living rooms and coffee shops, joining The Skillery won’t bust your budget, but it will meet and exceed your needs, with a professional environment, key resources (from consistent wifi to printers to meeting space) and convenient parking, among other amenities.
!
A NETWORK OF GENIUSES. Need help with something? Chances are that someone in our community has what you need. It’s one of the perks of joining The Skillery -- you’ll instantly be connected to a network of likeminded creative freelancers who, like you, are eager to broaden their business by sharing skills and expertise.

THE SPACE AND LOCATION
At 6,700 square feet, The Skillery’s new home will feature five meeting rooms, phone booths, a conference room, kitchen space, a dining room, an outdoor work patio, over 2,700 square feet of coworking space, and more.
!
We’ll be located in Nashville’s booming Germantown neighborhood, at the corner of 6th Avenue North and Taylor Street. Our building is one block from the nearest B-cycle station, and within shouting distance of the Nashville Farmer’s Market, Red Bicycle Coffee & Crepes, The Cupcake Collection and more. If you have a car, we’ve got you covered with plenty of parking in our own private lot. Construction is under way, and we’ll open our doors in early 2014.
