  • Hours: 9am-6pm Monday - Friday, 10:30am-6pm Saturday & Sunday

Leave what you can, take what you need. All are welcome.

Stay Inspired!

Thanks for being here. I’m excited that we’re nearly at 1000 readers! I have my first advertiser starting next week - and they’re someone I really am excited to share about anyhow, so that’s awesome.

As Flagstaff Inspires grows I look forward to the opportunities it will create. I hope to do things like opening a jobs board (which multiple people have asked about), possibly creating a weekend preview or month ahead preview to help you plan better, and to collaborate on community projects or workshops.

I’m grateful to be creating community with you! I always appreciate hearing your thoughts and ideas. You can hit reply or drop a line here → [email protected]
