High Five Community Makerspace 2025

Take Your Media-Making Skills to the Next Level! Join us for the Community Makerspace events at High Five Access Media.

Every first and third Friday at 5 p.m., except holidays, we host free a community makerspace for all to create, share, and connect with others. We’ll provide activities such as games, crafts, and quick photo/video projects to help you build your skills and befriend awesome, creative people in the Vail Valley. Free snacks and soft drinks!

Every second and fourth Tuesday at 10 a.m., we host drop-in studio time for you to get your work done. You can practice using our professional equipment before you make a checkout reservation, or get 1-on-1 instruction and critique with our experienced staff.
