CE is the latest from the Collective, a group of creatives in the Capital Region who want to encourage and help other creatives just starting out. Dreamy huh? Pictured is the podcasting booth where creators and podcasters can live-cast or record their latest episodes. Last week, a bunch of the creatives in the 518 got together to celebrate the grand opening along with the founders of the Collectiveffort at the monthly ACE event.

Conveniently located CE is on the 4th floor at 415 River Street, in Troy, NY. CE is just down the block from the River Street Market, fka the Headley Building.
