For nearly ten years, COESPACE offered a unique DIY venue for both private and public events in Bangor. As our downtown continues to rebuild itself after a couple of very trying years, we are evolving into BOOKSPACE, a programmed venue focused on the literary arts. As an event space extension of downtown Bangor's beloved bookstore, The Briar Patch, future programs will include author readings & signings, book clubs, writing workshops, illustrator exhibits and more. Thank you to everyone who has shared this space with us for ten years. Stay tuned for everything that comes next!
