Hub Information
& Locations
Hub information
Hubs are locations, provided through businesses organizations, groups, individuals, etc., where supplies and/or maker-space is provided for community members to gather, crochet hearts, donate hearts, drop off supplies, and co-create community installation projects together.
Hubs are born from the communal nature of humanity. Hubs listed below have agreed to become part of the better together hARTs project ecosystem on our website.
A maker does not have to go to a hub to create and collaborate with other makers.
Hubs decide how and when resources are offered.
***Please abide by the hub’s expectations of their community participants.***
***See FAQ page for information on safety responsibilities.
Please contact the location directly for hours of operation.

Free printables for hubs
-

The better together hARTs project website will list a hub to help promote the hub. To make this initiative successful, each hub is responsible for promoting the better together hARTs project within the hub’s community. Our hope is that by promoting the better together hARTs project, a hub will also experience increased patronage to their location. The better together hARTs project supports local business, especially BIPOC and women owned business. We hope that a hub partnership will support the success of small businesses in a world dominated by corporations.

The better together hARTs project is not a business type entity; therefore, the better together hARTs project is not able to provide direct financial support to a hub. Goodwill and resource sharing (the egalitarian model) are imbedded in the values of those who choose to open and operate a hub.

Each hub decides how it will invite community members to contribute to the upkeep and inventory of crochet resources (yarn, notions, patterns, live demonstrations, group offerings, etc). Each hub clearly provides community with information about maker expectations, i.e. how to access and care for crochet resources. Hubs must clarify these questions to make the hub successful in the ecosystem.
Where and when are the hub’s crochet resources offered?
Are the resources going to stay at the hub or can people take resources with them? If people can take resources out the door with them, are they donating funds or crochet resources to the hub in exchange for taking materials? Are people checking out a kit, library style, and returning it?
How will donations of crochet materials be requested, collected and handled?
