We really loved being in the gallery all summer – and the staff could not have been better to work with. You made it a fun and creative place to be! Thank you for your help and guidance and for the friendly atmosphere you create at WORK_SPACE.
I held a company training there and the staff was amazing! They helped me sort out all the logistics and organized breakfast and lunch for the three days they hosted us. My favorite part about WORK_SPACE is how flexible they are. The training event was a success and I would rent space from them again!

A graduate of Highland Park, Illing Jr. High and MHS I feel very fortunate to be working for my hometown and managing a truly unique organization that seems to attract amazing entrepreneurs, artists, and community leaders. I have the rare opportunity to apply the subject of my doctoral dissertation, “The Psychology of Hospitality: Creating Welcoming and Inclusive Environments,” to a professional environment. Here at WORK_SPACE, our team strives to create a welcoming, inclusive, and hospitable environment for the variety of individuals and organizations that meet, learn, create, and work here.

WORK_SPACE Associate
Deb Cassidy B.A., M. Ed.
Deb comes to us after retiring from teaching French and Spanish for 40 years. Not ready to retire from working, she thought working at WORK_SPACE would be a grand new adventure. Originally from Springfield, MA, she now resides in Manchester and is a big fan of all things Manchester. She lives with her husband, Kevin, and 3 rescue dogs, and is thrilled to be a grandmother of 3. Deb has 5 philosophies of life, but usually can only remember about 4 at a time: 1. Never refuse cake. 2. Life is too short for white bread, vanilla ice cream, bad coffee, and bad wine. 3. There’s always something to be happy about. 4. Animals are just furry people, often with better personalities.
