How does it work?
Creatives bring your latest work and/or something that helps illustrate your creative interests so others can get to know you. Bring friends, dance, chat, show & share. You'll be invited to play the (optional) "Creative Connections" game where you'll make your own badge listing things you enjoy doing/offering and a second badge listing something you need or are looking for. This sparks conversations and interesting connections.
For a positive experience for everyone, we ask that you:
• Have fun and help others feel welcome
• Keep it PG-13 & family friendly (no alcohol, profanity, nudity etc.)
• Honor the Venue: We're guests in this free space. Please be respectful of the property and tidy up.

Frequently asked questions & answers:
> Q: Who's doing this? A: The event is hosted by Cityview church who generously provide the space. It's self-organized by *YOU* the artists. We all make this positive experience happen together. For example, Tricia Ratliff runs her "Creative Connections Game" as a form of art to help other artists. Parul Kumar will bring art and be greeting guests. Jordan Xu might paint live. Our friend Faith is launching a podcast .. Friends may play acoustic instruments or plug in tunes in a corner ... many unexpected things can happen!
> Q: Can I come if I'm not an artist? A: Yes of course! Bring Friends
> Q: How much work can I exhibit? A: This isn't a gallery, it's a fun gathering so it's best to bring something you can carry. If there's enough space feel free to set it up a little table or bring a display easel knowing that nobody is responsible for your art but you.
> Q: Can I sell? A: Thankfully, it's a free country but the venue is not a sales/retail venue. So, if someone wants to buy your art, you can handle your own transaction outside of the event. There's no commission or fees etc. Very chill.
> Q: Can I set up a table/display? A: Yes, if you can find space, but be prepared for activity. People might be dancing, moving or bumping into things and nobody is responsible for your things
> Q: Can I paint/create/demo? A: Respect this beautiful, pristine space with gratitude! If you create - bring a tarp etc. to prevent damage and clean up thoroughly. We all want to be invited back.
