A Shameless Valentine's Sip & Sketch with Vanillacooldance

Join for an unforgettable night of creativity, cocktails and shameless conversation at the beautiful Sir Adam Hotel in the A'dam toren!

Jessica Stahl, the creator of the taboo-breaking cartoon Vanillacooldance and recently named Sex & Relationships creator of the year at the bCreator awards, will guide you through a night of uninhibited fun.

It's an intimate, empowering experience where we'll openly discuss the conversations we secretly crave. Under Jessica’s guidance, you'll create your own cartoon alter-ego while exploring themes of sexuality, love, shame, and self-expression without judgment. It's like super sexy art therapy.

To keep the creativity (and conversation) flowing, ÉLALA Tequila will be mixing up delicious cocktails and refreshing palomas for you to enjoy throughout the evening—because nothing sparks inspiration like a Cool Dancer cocktail 😏 (cocktails & non-alcoholic options are included with your ticket!)

Come solo, bring your friends, your first date, or your partner(s)! Just bring an open mind and leave with unapologetic energy, new connections, and a goody bag with spicy surprises.
