What is Night School?
Night School is an immersive, pop-up event series focused on knowledge exchange and creative collaboration. It brings together a diverse community of thinkers, artists, and professionals to explore new ideas through workshops and co-working experiences. It’s a space where individuals can spark their creativity, learn new skills, and connect with like-minded people. We partner dynamic knowledge producers with existing community spaces to bring meaningful learning experiences foster creativity, growth, and connection for adults.
