A collective of creators hosting events and producing a physical and digital magazine to explore and archive culture, while empowering creators in the web3 space through education, community, and partnerships.

Take Up Space is a collective of diverse creators building culture on the new internet through intersectional media, events & community.

-- WHAT WE DO

In Season 1, we launched the first-ever CreatorThon, a 2 day virtual summit exploring the creator economy. A sold out event, CreatorThon brought together global experts to discuss tools, tech & trends for creators to thrive.

In Season 2, we are creating a physical and onchain magazine. The zine will feature a collection of essays, profiles, art, poetry and stories all exploring the theme: Technology of Togetherness. By creating both a physical and onchain record, we are both building and archiving culture.

-- THE IMPACT WE MAKE

We are a beacon for creators, thinkers & builders who want to learn, grow & carve a new path in the creator economy. Our accessible & culturally relevant activations will continue to onboard culture-makers, enriching the web3 space at large.

-- PROGRESS SO FAR

We completed Seed Club SC05, launched our Changemaker NFT & DAO Founders Token, Sold out CreatorThon, launched The Beginners Web3 Playbook (a free self-paced course) and raised $8000 in the previous Gitcoin GR15. We have consulted for Google, been featured in The Atlantic, spoken at NFT London & London Tech Week & Permissionless II (upcoming) and have partnered with MoonPay.

-- HOW THE FUNDING IS USED

We are a fully bootstrapped organisation. Your generous contributions will fund our treasury, which will be used to compensate contributors, operations & marketing costs, host events and fund diverse creators to create quality media & content.
