About this Event

Welcome to Creatives Café!

Join us for a fun and inspiring evening at The Lift—a gathering designed to spark ideas, connections, and collaborations among local creatives. Whether you’re an artist, writer, designer, musician, or simply passionate about creativity, this event is for you!

Creatives Café is a free quarterly networking event where local creatives come together to share conversations about art, creativity, and community. Each event brings together 30–40 intentionally curated guests representing a wide range of races, ages, experiences, and creative interests—all united by a shared love of the arts.

We’ll provide conversation prompts and mix things up with a bit of “musical chairs” throughout the evening, ensuring you get to meet and talk with everyone. These are not planning meetings or pitch sessions—just a relaxed, engaging opportunity to build community, make connections, and have fun!

Enjoy complimentary food with a cash bar available. Attendees are encouraged to bring business cards, flyers, or other promotional materials to share with fellow creatives.

Come ready to connect, collaborate, and fuel your creative spirit—see you at Creatives Café!
