About Event

​​​​​​What's this?

  • ​a gathering of folks who've been too immersed in the tech world and need to release their inner child and make some art

  • ​the art you work on can be anything, as long as its not related to your job or school. some examples of past ideas:

    • ​painting custom shoes

    • ​writing and singing an original song about 'workplace woes'

    • ​remixing a song into an original edm track

    • ​speed drawing birds and fish for 1, 10, 30 mins at a time

    • ​creative youtube videos/shorts

    • ​anything else you consider art, seriously! but if you feel like you're 'cheating the system', you probably are, which isn't cool

  • ​computers are allowed! they're a great tool to make art — just try to get out of your comfort bubble with what you work on

  • ​​​at the end, we'll have 2 minute demos for people to talk about what they worked on — it's opt in so no pressure!

​​​
When/Where:

  • ​150 Van Ness 2nd floor - text 6472784273 when youre in the lobby we'll get you

  • ​​​come between 11:30-12pm, hosts will be there earlier; please come by 12:10 at the latest, hard start at 12:15pm

  • ​​PLEASE COME ON TIME! its cool if you're late, just come in quietly and dont be disruptive

​Agenda:

12:00 PM- 12:15 PM - intros 
12:15 PM - 2:15 PM - pomodoro based deep work 
2:15 PM - 3:00 PM - demos + closing

​​​​Why:

  • ​​​​i've been procrastinating too much on what sparks joy - feels like we're not alone in this and want to keep others accountable for working on what makes releases their inner artist

  • ​we are all children. sometimes u just gotta sit down and do some coloring or finger painting or something

  • ​​​the vibes will probably be immaculate and I hope the people that come will be friends with each other

​​​Snacks:

  • ​​​yes

​How to Act:

  • ​please dont take this as a time to just work on stuff you'd normally be doing anyway, or to come and "network" - that's just not the vibe, and its mostly silent good vibes anyway

    • ​if you come to network i will be really sad - come to create and make friends :D

  • ​​​act like a host!! include people in conversations, talk to people even if they're strangers, offer to help out and clean up - this is so freaking important I cant stress it enough
