About this Event

LA’s most eclectic creative gathering is back—this time with a focus on The Art of Performance and The Performance of Art.

If 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
