Steven Ecker: The Collage Artist Awakening Creativity
In a world consumed by digital distraction, Steven Ecker emerges as a beacon of artistic expression, inviting us to reconnect with our innate creativity through the therapeutic art of collage-making. For Ecker, collaging is more than just a medium – it's a pathway to self-discovery, a means of disconnecting from technology and immersing oneself in the boundless realms of imagination.
With a childlike sense of wonder and an insatiable curiosity, Ecker finds immense joy in the act of ripping and tearing magazines, transforming the discarded into masterpieces that celebrate the beauty of deconstruction and reconstruction. Each collage is a tapestry of vibrant colors, textures, and emotions, inviting viewers to embark on a journey of self-exploration.
Driven by a deep-rooted belief that everyone is an artist, Ecker has made it his mission to create spaces where individuals can awaken their inner creators. He understands that in the hustle and bustle of modern life, our creative powers often fade into the background, overshadowed by the demands of work and the constant bombardment of screens.
It was a chance encounter with torn billboards lining the streets of New York City that ignited Ecker's passion for collage art. Captivated by the raw beauty of the tattered advertisements, he found himself compelled to recreate their essence through his own artistic lens, and thus, "Get Lost Collages" was born.
Ecker's philosophy is simple yet profound: to provide a sanctuary where people can escape the confines of technology, free their minds, and tap into their childlike selves. It's a space where comparison and judgment are left at the door, and self-expression reigns supreme. Through his workshops and installations, Ecker guides participants on a journey of creative exploration, encouraging them to let go, embrace the flow, and unleash the artist within.
With each collage created, Ecker reminds us that art is not a pursuit reserved for the select few – it is a fundamental human experience, a conduit for self-discovery and healing. His work is a testament to the power of creativity and a reminder that within each of us lies the potential to create something extraordinary, one torn fragment at a time.

To book, follow the secure checkout process on the website. This will reserve your host's time.
If you need extra help with anything, just leave us a note in the "Comments" field! We're happy to help with food and venue recommendations.
After you check out, you will receive a confirmation email and a receipt. Very shortly after that, our team will reach out to connect you with your host and help with the logistics and questions!
All prices are upfront. There are no extra charges beyond what you pay when you book. In 99% of cases, hosts won't ask for tips because they're already included in the price.
All activities you see on Spaciously are private. You will get a dedicated instructor. You will also get either an entire venue or a section of a venue to yourselves.
If our calendar allows you to pick a date and time, your activity is available! In the rare scenario that your host has an emergency and can't make the date, it's our responsibility to find you a substitute host or a substitute activity quickly. If you don't like the options, we'll send you a full refund.
We are here to make sure your team gets the event they will enjoy. Helping you find the best activity for your team is the best part of our job. Send us a chat message, a text (415 798-0382) or an email (hello@spaciously.io). If you contact us in the morning or early afternoon, we'll respond in a few minutes.
We work only with highly reliable hosts. Every single one of our hosts is a small business owner. We either saw them in action, received a recommendation from another client or had a personal call to go over their proposed activity. Small business owners spend years mastering their skills. They put great care into planning your experience.
People love when they don't have to go out of their way for team-building. Invite the activity host to travel to your venue by selecting the option "My venue/office."
Some building management companies don't allow certain activities, e.g. cooking if you don't have a kitchen. Make sure you check this before you book.
Most buildings require a certificate of insurance. A one-off certificate of insurance costs ~$150 online, but 99% of the time, our hosts can provide one for free. There may be some back-and-forth with your building management to agree on the coverage, but we are happy to collaborate with you on this.
Refer to the cancelation policy on each listing when you book to see how much time you have to cancel your reservation. To cancel, answer the email thread we will start with you or contact hello@spaciously.io.
Regardless of the cancelation policy, hosts usually allow you to move the time of your booking a bit or to add a few more people. We are very collaborative when it comes to small event adjustments. Ultimately, we all want your event to be successful because we want to be your partners for a long time!
I had a concierge service except the price wasn’t a secret. I knew exactly what I was getting. And the communication was right there with it.
