Collab - LA's Favorite Art Salon and Creative Mixer
TUESDAY, April 8th... Collab joins up with LA Climate Week!
March was amazing with our Upcycling in the Arts event, and we're following it in April by being a part of LA CLIMATE WEEK! Collab for April will be focusing on art and creativity in conservation and environmentalism. We're bringing in an amazing group of speakers, artists, performers and entrepreneurs...and YOU!
What is Collab? Started in 2005, it's a monthly art salon, creative mixer, network/collaboration event and a place to help figure out what you want to get up to next. Anyone is welcome, it is super easy to meet people, share ideas, get inspired, find collaborators, or get help on your project! It is a creative retreat for all of you artists, entrepreneurs, techies, makers, mad scientists, film folk, performers, investors, inventors and all around awesome creatives.
Our guest speakers are structured around an ask and give format. They are sharing their projects, their experiences, their amazing talents. And in return, they are making an ask of the community to help make their creative dreams reality.

So come join us. First timers, Collab vets, and everything in between. We do ask for a $5 donation at the door, but we've never turned away anyone for lack of funds. If you can't help with $5, we'd love to have you help at the door or with set-up/clean-up for 30 minutes or so. We typically have some box wine and snacks, but we also welcome any beverage or food you'd like to add to the mix.
Can't wait to see you at the new COLLAB!
