Pop-Up Commuter Support Hub at The Shiny Shop

Produced by Alex Makes Art, this former coffee shop at 114 Western Ave is being transformed into part creative community hub, and part joyful neighborhood hangout. Expect a vibrant space for crafting, storytelling, interactive installations, guest artists, zines, disco bikes, and plenty of surprises.

The Shiny Shop will also serve as a pop-up commuter support hub managed by Harvard Transportation every Tuesday in May – offering route planning guidance, sustainable transportation resources, shared mobility discounts, and helmet fitting assistance.

Come make something, meet your neighbors, and leave a little brighter than you arrived.

Soft opening begins in early May. Stay tuned for weekly programming updates and events here.
