🎨 The Creative Connection: Austin Singles Mixer
Thursday, November 19 | 7:00–9:00 PM
📍 Austin, TX
Good conversations. Creative minds. And maybe a little chemistry. ✨
Austin is full of artists, designers, filmmakers, marketers, photographers, and people who see the world a little differently. So why not bring them together?
Join us for a curated singles mixer designed exclusively for Austin's creative community. Whether you're an artist, graphic designer, filmmaker, photographer, marketing professional, musician, or work in another creative field, this is your chance to meet interesting people who share your passion for creativity and making things happen.
Forget dating apps and awkward speed-dating sessions. We're creating a space for genuine conversations, unexpected connections, and a fun Thursday night with people outside your usual circle.
You might meet someone who inspires you, someone you'd love to collaborate with, or someone who catches your eye. Either way, you'll be in good company.
No swiping. No speed dating. Just creative people meeting in real life.
🎨 What Makes This Mixer Different?
💡 A Crowd of Creative Minds — Meet fellow creatives across art, design, film, photography, marketing, music, media, and other creative industries.
💬 Conversations That Happen Naturally — Enjoy light icebreakers designed to make meeting new people easier without turning the night into a series of interviews.
✨ Chemistry Beyond the Algorithm — Meet people organically, without profiles, endless messaging, or the pressure of dating apps.
🤝 Expand Your Creative Circle — Make new connections with people who share your interests, understand your work, and bring different perspectives.
🥂 A Relaxed Austin Vibe — Come as you are, bring your personality, and enjoy an evening of meeting new people in a welcoming atmosphere.
💡 More Than Just a Mixer: Thoughtful Connections
We want to make meeting people a little more intentional.
When you submit your creative profile and portfolio, we'll use the information you provide to help pair you with other attendees who share similar interests, creative backgrounds, professional fields, or passions.
Whether you're both filmmakers, work in branding and marketing, create visual art, or simply share a similar creative outlook, we'll use those commonalities to help spark more meaningful conversations.
Think of it as a little matchmaking with a creative twist.
That's why submitting your portfolio and professional background beforehand is important. The more we know about what you do and what you're passionate about, the better we can make introductions and create opportunities for genuine connections.
Our goal isn't just to put a bunch of singles in the same room. It's to bring together people who might naturally click, both creatively and personally.
💛 A Curated Creative Community
This isn't a general singles mixer. This event is exclusively for creatives.
We want to bring together people who actively create, design, produce, market, perform, or contribute to creative work.
To keep the crowd intentional, all attendees must submit a creative profile and portfolio through our application process before purchasing a ticket.
Your portfolio could include:
- Graphic design, illustration, or visual art
- Photography, videography, or filmmaking
- Marketing, branding, or creative campaigns
- Music, performance, or other artistic work
- Digital media, content creation, or creative projects
You don't need to be famous, established, or have a massive portfolio. We simply want to see what you create and make sure this event brings together the creative community it's designed for.
All submissions are subject to review. Submitting an application does not guarantee admission. Approved applicants will receive instructions for accessing ticket purchases.

Coming solo? Perfectly fine. Many guests attend on their own. Our icebreakers and thoughtful introductions help make meeting new people easier, so you don't need to bring a friend or know anyone beforehand.
