ARTISTS and entrepreneurs are an intriguing mix at a new shared community space in Frankston.
The Frankston Regional Artisan’s Network – also known as FRANK – has gathered together creatives and small businesses under the same roof at a Beach St hub.
The network is a Frankston Council initiative.
Mayor Cr Sandra Mayer said a project team of council officers and Frankston residents had planned the FRANK project.
“This team shared a vision to create a unique space that allows local creatives, small businesses and entrepreneurs to come together to share a place to work, inspire and connect – similar to The Hub in Melbourne and co-working spaces that now operate across the globe.”
Small businesses and artists can lease space at the community hub at less expense than individually renting office space.
The supportive community of like-minded businesspeople at the hub helps start-up entrepreneurs feel less isolated thanks to a “business incubator with all the comforts of home”, according to FRANK’s website.
“FRANK is a friendly and safe place that offers personal, shared and interactive spaces to promote productivity and inspiration,” Cr Mayer said.
“It compliments Council’s efforts to revitalise the heart of Frankston and its commitment to public art and the development of key public spaces.”
The FRANK hub is at 31 Beach St, Frankston. See frankcre8.org.au for further information or call council on 9784 1049.
