Coffee with the Collective at Monserrat Art Gallery

Coffee with the Collective and Massachusetts LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce at Monserrat School of Art

Building Community Through Collaborative Connections in Salem. The Coffee with the Collective series has become an essential monthly gathering where Essex County business owners come together as community builders. These collaborative gatherings bring together entrepreneurs, creators, consultants, service providers, and innovators from across industries - all united by their belief that business success includes contributing to our region's vibrancy.

Our November gathering will be hosted at Monserrat School of Art Gallery and co hosted by Massachusetts LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce.

Monserrat School of Art Gallery: The Montserrat Gallery is located on the first floor of the Hardie Building at 23 Essex Street and is open Monday through Friday from 10am to 5pm and Saturday from 12pm to 5pm. The college operates several free, public galleries that exhibit works by international, national, and regional contemporary artists as part of their commitment to taking art education beyond the classroom. The gallery spaces showcase rotating exhibitions featuring everything from student work to renowned faculty pieces, and are part of Beverly's arts district (BAD - Beverly Arts District), contributing to the cultural vibrancy of this historic coastal community.

Massachusetts LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce: Mass LGBTQ Chamber of Commerces is a leader in cultivating inclusive relationships between LGBTQ-owned businesses and the corporate sector to drive economic impact throughout the Commonwealth.
