welcome home <3
thursday 23 july 2026
6:00pm – 11:00pm
riónce arts club, ladywell
after six months away, we’re finally opening the doors again.
welcome home is our first gathering back.
if you’ve been part of riónce before, it’s a chance to catch up with familiar faces, hear what’s been happening behind the scenes and celebrate the beginning of a new chapter.
if you’re new, it’s the perfect introduction to riónce. come and meet oleta, the founder, explore the studio, get to know the community and experience what we’re all about before deciding if you’d like to come back.
there’s no pressure to network.
no expectation to perform.
just an evening to reconnect, meet good people, get creative and simply be.
we’ll share a few updates, take on a fun creative challenge together, then open up the studio for a relaxed evening of making, chatting and music.
whether you’ve been away for six months or this is your first visit…
