This is a Networking Event for all creatives at Dixon Place Cocktail Lounge!
Calling everyone creative of all background, all discipline – artists, dancers, choreographers, designers, musicians, actors, writers, comedians, photographers, and everyone in-between and beyond….to come and network, explore ideas, connect, share your events/projects, learn about other projects and learn how to be involved, and have fun!
This is a great opportunity for creative people to come together to find ways to collaborate, cross-pollinate. And may be you will go back home with renewed enthusiasm about a project or come up with new ideas for a new work/production or may be you will find that collaborator to work with that you did not know how to meet. You just never know!
