Charter a YACHT in Miami Beach, Florida

Traveling the ocean on an 82ft yacht is just spectacular. Who knew you could simply charter one out? If you're in the area, I highly recommend it.

And you know the right people to call for your epic travel documentary! 💪🌊😎📸🎥

Sure, it's going to look and feel a whole lot different than previous years. And, yeah, the list of haunted houses, costume club ragers, totally out there themed shindigs, and family-friendly trick-or-treat-focused events is drastically smaller. But Michiganders are nothing if not creative, and this...

What Is Art Studio Tour

Welcome to our happy place, located inside the newest wework building in Detroit. Not only do we have a fully equipped production studio, we also get to co-work in the ultimate social / productive environment. Sounds a lot better than working from home, right? We have 3 membership passes left! Membership includes wework shared office space, along with self service studio access. Send us a message for more details about membership passes.

Working out everyday with instagram.com/taylorcshank. Next class is at 6:30pm. DM him for a link.

What Is Art opened its studio Feb 2nd, excited to provide photo and video services to wework members and beyond. Since the pandemic, we have had to re-structure our business to support people remotely. For the past month, we have specifically focused on helping fitness instructors create a high quality live streaming experience. We believe it is important to keep moving during this time where it is too easy to fall into sedentary behaviors. It has personally motivated me to build healthy habits and has given me a reason to wake up early. These workouts are the most social part of my day. I truly hope everyone is finding a way to get through these times. I hope to inspire you to take care of yourself and to have something to look forward to.
