COLLAB: LA's Best Art Salon and Creative Networking Party
About this Event
LA’s best art salon and monthly creative party had an absolute amazing MAY! Over 100 guests and a bunch of amazing stuff including a live opera singer, fire dancers, piano concerto, amazing graffiti artists slinging cans, delicious sliders, lots of free drinks and the debut of the ONE STOOL BAR!
So look out June, Collab is coming through again!
If you’re a creative of any sort, and you've been looking for your people in LA—this is where they are.
Collab is part art salon, part creative mixer, part idea incubator. For 20 years, it’s been a space where artists, founders, makers, and curious minds come together to connect, collaborate, and spark what’s next.
Expect a room full of:
Artists · Designers · Filmmakers · Builders · Entrepreneurs · Musicians · Creative Technologists · And people doing things that don’t fit in a box
