Trading Canvases: Singles Night

👋 Hi, we're Makers Social , the DIY craft bar in the Franklinton Arts District! With a full menu of over 30 DIY crafts & a full bar of cocktails, beers, and rare bourbons, we've saved you some seats to meet friends or a lover!

🎨 "Trading Canvases" Speed Dating Night 🖌️
A social game for artistic beginners and adventurous hearts!

Join us for a one-of-a-kind speed dating experience where you'll rotate through painting partners while helping bring the Columbus skyline to life—one brushstroke at a time!

Here’s how it works:

• Each guest will work on pre-sketched canvases—no pressure, no judgment, just fun!
• Every few minutes, you’ll pause to trade canvases and chat with someone new
• With each swap, you’ll also team up to answer Columbus-themed trivia and folklore (true or false—who really knows?)
• Think of it as speed dating meets Bob Ross, minus the perms but with plenty of happy little trees

Whether you're a paint-by-numbers type or haven’t picked up a brush since grade school, this night is all about creativity, conversation, and connection.

Come for the colors, stay for the company. 💕

This event is for singles looking to mix n' mingle here in Columbus. Come meet your person IRL.

While there is no age restriction besides 21+, the typical demographic attending our Singles Mixers are ages 27-45.

At this event, we'll have a guest expert compatability specialist, Danielle Culpepper available for games & guidance! Danielle is the owner and founder of Kindling Connections, a compatibility company with a focus on creating long lasting connections. Danielle is a Licensed Mental Health Therapist turned Matchmaker and dating coach. Her passion for helping people find love stems from her belief that healthy romantic relationships are fundamental to individual well-being and functioning.Through her work as a therapist, she has gained deep insights into what makes relationships successful. Love alone is not always enough to sustain a long-term relationship. True compatibility ensures that partners can support and love each other even during their worst times. Her guiding philosophy on love is that a true match is not simply about finding the "spark", but it is also about finding someone who invites every version of you to be loved---her goal is to help you "find your flame and make it eternal". She approaches matchmaking through a mental health lens, which focuses on compatibility by understanding how mental health, personal values, and behavioral patterns influence relationship dynamics. Danielle's approach as a "mental health matchmaker" merges mental health and modern dating to encourage you to date like a therapist and find the love that is meant for you.

Beverages including cocktails, non-alcoholic drinks, local beers, and a top-notch bourbon selection, will be available for purchase at the bar upon arrival.
