INK Artspace’s humble beginnings started in a location above downtown music venue the Bartlett. But poor access for the population it sought to serve, combined with the noise that would fill the space whenever there was a show downstairs, made the spot less than ideal. Now, thanks to its partnership with the new Spark Center in Kendall Yards, offering easy access from downtown and the West Central neighborhood, INK is ready to debut for round two this Friday. The community is invited to see the new space, meet INK’s board of directors, learn about volunteer opportunities and also see work by students of INK’s recent workshops, Origin Stories. The series, created by local author Jess Walter and illustrator Sam Mills, pushes students to explore their strengths and weaknesses as they create a graphic novel telling their “origin.”
