This is the last week to register for the Small Scale Real Estate Development Workshop. Full and half-price scholarships are available!
The Workshop offers specialized training about how to create small projects, like 1-3 story buildings with less than 20 units, which are residential, commercial or mixed use. The Workshop is a day-long session designed to introduce the principles and implementation mechanisms behind neighborhood based development projects. The course assumes you know a lot about where you live, but not necessarily much about the real estate process or building development. Discover where you need help and meet the people who can help you. Through presentations on finance, design and site selection, a hands-on practice exercise, and networking with local like-minded people, this workshop is the first step to becoming a small developer yourself or creating a supportive ecosystem for small development in your city.

As part of this year’s Artwalk, Trinity will feature the artwork of two local creative scientists-turned artists, Jim Ingles & Dean Jones. Jim uses the world as his canvas creating non-objective abstracts, mono-prints & plein air landscapes. Dean’s impressionistic style is in great contrast from his scientific background and features acrylic serene seascapes and fresh fields of North Georgia.
