Join us for a new kind of networking event.

ARTCRUSH! events are designed around short, one-on-one conversations inspired by the speed-dating format but with a focus on fostering community and business connections. Think of it as “art show mingling,” but with a system that sparks new, organic relationships. While ‘art’ is in the name, you don’t have to be an ‘artist’ to partake. Our events are open to anyone looking to build, collaborate, and connect. We can't wait to meet you!

RSVPs are required. (Please see link below.) At sign-in, participants will be split into a Blue group and a Green group. At 6:30pm, a brief presentation will introduce the event and then the 9 min conversations will begin. When a bell is rung: one group will stay seated while the other rotates. Afterwards, participants are encouraged to continue conversations or connect with someone new in an open-mingling format before the conclusion of the event.

ARTCRUSH! can be a great opportunity to practice your 'elevator pitch' about your work, make new aquaintances outside of your social bubble, learn about all the wonderful things happening around our city or promote your upcoming events (don't forget to bring your showcards to disperse).
