"The Freestanding Room is a collection of creators who believe that big things happen in small places. They like a good story and the chance to tell it fast and easy. Together, they tend The Freestanding Room; an intimate space used to sharpen their tools, corral their ideas, spin their yarns, and sooner rather than later, invite everyone hungry for a tale told simply and authentically to come sit around their fire."
- Johanna Nutter, Espace Freestanding Room Founder
