About this Event

The Shift, Monthly Series | April '26
Join us for the April gathering of the Shift, a new monthly creative discussion series powered by Black Creatives RVA.
________________________________________________________________________

theShift + Duality
Balancing the work that ?feeds you and the work ?that sustains you.

This month’s speakers are Shanta Bunmi Jasper and Hezekiah Baylor, two multidisciplinary creatives who have spent years shaping their work across different spaces.

Many of us feel the pressure to define what kind of creative we are. But in reality, we’re often navigating both sides of the work.

This conversation explores that tension and what it looks like to move between creating for yourself and creating for others in a way that works for you.



Event Details

Doors open at 6:30 PM for a casual happy hour. Guests are welcome to arrive early, settle in, and connect with others in the room. Light bites will be available, and drinks can be purchased at the bar.

The program will begin promptly at 7:00 PM.



What to Expect

• An intimate and intentional space for listening and conversation
• Honest reflection on the creative journey
• Opportunities to connect with other creatives in the room
• A chance to explore the shifts shaping your own path



Who Should Attend

The Shift is open to anyone who considers themselves a creative and is looking for meaningful connections. We center those working in creative industries and those who work alongside us, but this space is open to all who value creativity, growth, and community.


Tickets for The Shift are free, but space is limited to keep the experience intimate and participatory. Please only register if you plan to attend. If your plans change and you are unable to join us, we kindly ask that you release your ticket so another member of the community can take your place.
