Inspiration. Community. Connection. Church.

We are an intentionally artist-led, pay-it-forward community, and we lead with artists humanity - our full, complicated, creative, exhausted, hopeful humanity. Not what you do or who you’ve worked with. The relationships that come out of this room may or may not lead to a gig or referral. Our goal is authentic connection. The kind that happens when artists are finally in a room together without the pressure to be impressive. This is our version of ‘soft-networking’ and it is exactly what we need in this moment.

Meet us at the Coffee Hour. Build relationships with other creatives. Share what you’re up to, Be inspired by others, Connect with someone new. Come through and get a word to take with you and pass it on. 20 mins intro, 20 mins inspirational speaker, 20 mins intermingle.

Join us in Indianapolis, Indiana!
