Tuesday, October 14th, LA's favorite art salon and creative mixer returns! This month we're bringing in an amazing group of speakers focusing on 3rd Spaces in the arts and creative fields. Your 1st Space is your home, your 2nd Space is your work, and your 3rd Spaces are everything else that makes live livable! We're having the owners and creators of MakerSpaces, Creative coworking spots, artistic businesses and public socializing spaces from throughout LA here to teach, learn from, and network with!
What is Collab? Started in 2005, it's a monthly art salon, creative mixer, network/collaboration event and a place to help figure out what you want to get up to next. Anyone is welcome, it's super easy to meet people, share ideas, get inspired, find collaborators, or get help on your project! It is a creative retreat for artists, entrepreneurs, techies, makers, mad scientists, film folk, performers, investors, inventors and all around awesome creatives.
Our guest speakers are structured around an ask and give format. They share their projects, their experiences, and their amazing talents. In return, they make an ask of the community to help make their creative dreams reality.

INVITE YOUR FRIENDS! It’s always better when our community reaches out to create inclusion.
So come join us. First timers, Collab vets, and everything in between. We do ask for a $5 donation at the door, but we've never turned away anyone for lack of funds. If you can't help with $5, we'd love to have you help at the door or with set-up/clean-up for 30 minutes or so. We typically have some box wine and snacks, but we also welcome any beverage or food you'd like to add to the mix. Can't wait to see you at the new COLLAB!
