"We Had Nothing. It Was Just Mud." The Maxwell's Chelsea Hand on Building a Venue During the Pandemic The Women's Social Club
-
- Self-Improvement
"We had nothing there. It was just mud. I would pull up, take the desk out of my trunk. I had this cute little lookbook that had, you know, all the finishes and stuff we've picked out. We had some renderings. I have hard hats with our logo on them. And so we'd walk around, and I would kind of, like, stand and be like, so this is where a wall is going to be. And then I'd shimmy over and go, and then this is is where the door is. And literally, there was nothing there when we sent out our first contract. "
10 years ago, Chelsea Hand sketched her vision for an event space on a napkin. In 2020, she decided to turn her napkin-sketch dream into reality - and as she's breaking ground on what would become The Maxwell...well we all know what happened in 2020.
