<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">In the fall of 2014, the Furman Art Department acquired a vacant 1000 square foot storefront in the Sans Souci neighborhood. This space will serve as a laboratory for student creativity and innovation and a "small bet" to demonstrate the value of I & E to university and community leaders. This space, deemed The Makery, will also be a bridge between campus and community, allowing students to interact with creators and innovators from Sans Souci and the Greater Greenville area. Future plans include turning an adjacent screen printing shop into a cross-disciplinary, student-operated venture to expose students to real-life business and creative principles.</span></span>

This The space will serve as host a laboratory for variety of student creativity and innovation community events in order to increase exposure and a "small bet" to demonstrate create interest.

Future plans Possibilities include turning an adjacent screen printing shop into a crosscommunity-owned and operated venture, a Furman-disciplinaryowned and operated venture, or even a student-owned and operated model. The current empty spaces will be converted into some combination of event space, maker/innovation space, and cafe/bakery amongst other ideas. The Screen Tech operation will be completely student-run and possibly separately owned. It will provide students from across disciplines the opportunity to practice the art of screen printing and gain experience in operating a real business venture .</span></span></span> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span><span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;"></span></span></span>   <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;"></span></span></span>'''Key Tactics'''  <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-d7fd9b3a-c421-8eb4-58c8-4b63471e44eb"><span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Tactic 1: Utilize relationships with FCC and Roers (Furman Art) and develop relationships with other student groups in order to expose bring a broad base of students to realinto the project</span></span></span> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br/></span> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-d7fd9b3a-c421-8eb4-58c8-4b63471e44eb"><span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-life business color: transparent;">Tactic 2: Actively promote our presence in the community and invite input and programming from Sans Souci and creative principlesGreenville stakeholders</span></span></span> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br/></span> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-d7fd9b3a-c421-8eb4-58c8-4b63471e44eb"><span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Tactic 3: Maintain flexibility in all aspects of the project.
