We have loved our rental experiences with Wild Goose Creative! We’ve used their studio space for our end-of-year party and other company events, and every time has been fantastic. The team is always responsive, helpful, and easy to work with. The space itself is clean, flexible, and located in a beautiful area in the Franklinton Arts District downtown, perfect for both casual and professional gatherings. We highly recommend Wild Goose Creative for any organization looking for a welcoming, creative venue!
Wild Goose Creative is AWESOME!

We recently hosted an evening community event at Wild Goose Creative that was very successful. The staff was helpful and the space was ideal for this particular event. We will be back!
