Red Room Takes Flight, September 2015

rr flight iconsRed Room is moving from the Learning Kitchen to a brand new, amazing venue!

Six years ago, Red Room began with a dream shared over a cup of tea.  Co-founders Ping Chu and Ayesha Mehta both dreamed of creating a community that fosters creativity, friendship and innovation. Canmeng provided this dream with a home at Aveda Salon and over the past five years it has served to form unforgettable memories and bonds. The Red Room thrived under the care of its founders, volunteers and community members. Together we have nurtured Red Room and grown with it.

Now the Red Room has outgrown its home and the community is ready to take on new heights. Thanks to the enthusiasm of our community and the dedication of our volunteers, the Red Room has taken flight. With every change comes a new journey and many new opportunities with it. We are thrilled to announce a new destination for the Red Room. In the coming months, Red Room hopes to expand our community and welcome new artists and their ideas.

Stage Time & Wine 


紅房從大安路上的Learning Kitchen搬家了,搬到一個更神奇的地方!

六年前,紅房剛剛成立,朱平與Ayesha Mehta兩人想要創造一個充滿創意、友善以及創新社群。而肯夢提供了這個機會,讓我們這五年的美好回憶都繚繞在Aveda Salon給我們的家中。紅房在這群創辦人、志工和參與者的灌溉下成長茁壯,我們也一起隨著紅房繼續向前邁進。

現在紅房這個社群已經隨著五年的發展達到了另外一個高峰,必須要感謝所有人的熱情參與和志工們的奉獻,我們已經正式啟航。

跟隨著每次不一樣的旅程紅房都有不一樣的變化,我們很開心的跟各位宣佈紅房的新場地。在家下來的幾個月裡,希望能夠擴展這個創意社群以及迎接各式各樣的藝術家。

歡迎來到我們的新家,紅房國際村在空軍創新基地(空軍總部舊址)的場地正式啟用了!

紅房邀請您來到新的地點,一同來到專屬於分享的社群,建立起我們與您之間的友誼。在這個星期六,也就是九月十九日,全新的紅房將會打造一個截然不同的Stage Time & Wine。一起讓我們的啟航計畫變得更加完美,記得帶上一位朋友來享受這個充滿創造力的盛宴。
