Urban Market Exchange, LLC (UME) is a mixed use community space with a social-enterprises driven purpose.
UME was created to fill an urgent void for cost effective, makers spaces to artisans, inventors, and tailors in an area that has been affected historically and traditionally by poverty, community disinvestment, and lack of economic development. The current COVID19 effects have been especially devastating in under impoverished communities.
Our Social Purpose: is to promote economic development, employment opportunities, purchase power and accessibility to products and services while recirculating the dollar within the community.
We seek to offer an inclusive space where innovators, creators, and entrepreneurs are able to reduce overhead cost while driving productivity as a catalyst to business growth in the Woodlawn area.
UME highlights:
Monthly / drop in studio time access
Workshops & Classes
Private offices, conference rooms, dedicated and shared studios
Makers manufacturing equipment: wood shop, metal shop, prototyping, computer lab, blacksmithing, and electronics lab
