it’s all about Community

21Aug08

Over the past six months, we’ve been getting our feet wet here at the Molecule. We’ve met new artists and writers. We’ve made some commentary. We’ve even thrown a few parties. And now, going into the last half of our first year, we’re ready to go a little bit deeper.

Early 2009 Urban Molecule will roll out Community, a new section dedicated to indie coffee houses, indie bookstores, and galleries around the city, as well as your favorite artists and writers here at UM.

As artists, we need to know what’s happening in our community, but as life ramps up to light speed and our favorite joints get run out by those big bad corporations, the coolest places to work and mingle sometimes get lost in the shuffle. Who has the time to look for new hangouts? No worries! UM Community will serve it all up in one place, so you can know where to go online, as well as offline, to keep the arts thriving. And it doesn’t end there. You’ll be able to interact with your favorite coffee shops, bookstores and galleries by leaving comments on their pages and rating your experiences.

The Molecule believes in community. If we didn’t, we wouldn’t be here. It’s that simple. And our community is made up of what artists and writers find important in the twenty-first century city. How do you connect with others like you? Where do you go to feed your brain? What do you take for that insatiable thirst for art? In 2009 UM Community will give you all that and more. Just check out our new “community” tab in the top navigation.

UM Community is more than a list. It’s life. Urban-style.
