About this Event

Some of the most meaningful conversations don’t happen on stages. They happen when someone says, “Can I show you something?” or “Let me tell you what happened…”

This is an evening for those moments.

Join us for a gathering where people share two things: a story that shaped them and something they created along the way. It might be a song, a painting, a business, a poem, a film, a photograph, a recipe, a journal entry—or anything that exists because someone decided to make something from their experience.

You don’t have to be a professional artist to belong here. You just have to be human.

Come to share, come to listen, or simply come to be reminded that we’re all figuring it out together.

You’ll leave with new ideas, new connections, and maybe even the courage to finally make the thing you’ve been carrying around inside you.

Whether you’re a creative, an entrepreneur, a hobbyist, or just someone who loves a good story, there’s a seat for you.

Bring your curiosity. Bring a friend.

You might leave with both a new perspective and a new favorite person.
