Open house at space that blends art, high tech

Members of the public will have the chance to look at a new pilot project that hopes to spark creativity and new opportunities between high-tech startups and the arts community. A once-vacant building at 44 Gaukel St. in downtown Kitchener is the site of a partnership between the City of Kitchener, the Accelerator Centre and ArtsBuild Ontario. The free open house is on Tuesday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. You can register for the event online at www.eventbrite.com/e/startup-open-housewaterloo-region-2016-tickets-27133225207.
