Waterford is now home to a new business. 16441 Collective opened their doors on Thursday, May 4 on High Street in Waterford.

Their mission is to showcase local artists and artisans, provide one-of-a-kind products, and raise awareness of local talents and local products.

Owner Susanne Osborn says this collective is an opportunity to give exposure to any artist in the Waterford area. 

"I have lived here all my life, in Waterford. And I see all the artistic people and a lot of local talent needing some retail space," said Osborn. "So, we want to just elevate the artists and celebrate Waterford." 

The store hosted a special opening wine tasting event, including wine, food, and live music with Rankin and Schell.
