What’s happening at the Collective?
Open Studio
A shared creative workspace for co-working.
Open Studio is the heart of the space. Drop in during the day to work on your own projects, take a break from the solitude of remote work, read a book, meet a friend, or simply exist in Boulder’s coolest third place.
Communal tables, rotating supplies, and a steady hum of creativity. We supply coffee to keep you fueled, and you are always welcome to bring your own snacks.

Phone-Free Fridays
An intentional pause from the algorithm.
During Phone-Free Fridays, we invite you to put your phone away for the evening and reconnect with analog life. Rediscover natural conversation, creativity, and presence.
Runs concurrent with our Friday socials and is always an option during open studio times and other events. Just ask at the desk and check in to our signature Phone Hotel.
Let’s reset our nervous systems together.
Community Commons Nights
A dedicated weekly space for grassroots organizers, mutual aid groups, and community-led projects to gather, plan, and build together.
Every Wednesday evening, we reserve the studio specifically for community use at a sliding-scale or donation-based rate. This is intentional infrastructure for local organizing. We are a place where ideas, care work, and collective action can take shape without financial barriers getting in the way.
We welcome workshops, strategy sessions, mutual aid coordination, discussion groups, skill shares, and other forms of community-centered work.
If you’ve been looking for a grounded, welcoming place to bring people together, this is it.
When: Wednesdays, 5:00 - 8:00pm with occasional additional times available by request
Contribution: Sliding scale $0 - $250 depending on budget and use
Access: Application required - reach out so we can talk about your needs and intentions
First Fridays at Noo Collective
NOO Collective is proud to be part of the NoBo Arts District First Fridays ecosystem, an ongoing neighborhood-wide celebration of local art, creativity, and community.
Every First Friday, our studio opens its doors as a space to gather, connect, and experience what’s happening both inside NOO Collective and across our creative neighbors in the district. Come by to hang out in the studio, explore the space, and see what the broader NoBo arts community has to offer.
This is your invitation to bring friends, family, and anyone curious about what NOO Collective is becoming. Whether you’re an artist, a supporter, or just passing through, you’re welcome here.
Each month, we’ll rotate featured members on our gallery wall. If you’ve ever wanted to share your creative work (masterpiece or experiment, polished or in-progress), this is your time to shine. No hierarchy, no gatekeeping, just a rotating snapshot of the people who make this space what it is.
We’ll see you on First Friday.
