Team and Board of Directors

December 20, 2023 by Patricia Saravessi

The Team

Since its opening, the Atelier has welcomed many employees; full-time, part-time, student contract, summer contract, high school and university interns. In 2025, the Atelier became an un-staffed organization. 

The space will continue to be open as it is currently, with the Board and members taking a more active role in regular space management and maintenance
