Meet the Team
Hi! My name is Makara Adkins. I am the owner, and co- founder of Good Vibe Space. My passion is inspiring people through art and community!
I was born in British Columbia. My love for art came at a young age. My father was an artist, and encouraged me to pursue art all my life.
In the fall of 2020, the opportunity arose to create something new on lower Johnson street. I felt it was the perfect time to design a space that would have the ability to build a community, and uplift people.
Good Vibe Space is just the beginning of my vision of spreading positivity and creativity with the world!
