Introducing the DARC Social Club, open to all our active members. Social Club is a safe space for members to socialize, vent, or simply just ✨exist✨
Whether you’re an artist, filmmaker, musician, writer — or just passionate about the arts! — this is the perfect space to connect with like-minded folks in a cozy, welcoming environment, hosted by longtime DARC collaborators Deena A. Alsaweer and Nickie Shobeiry.
WHAT IS THE DARC SOCIAL CLUB?
Artists often are stressed with juggling multiple jobs/gigs, trying to find that next big idea, or just the pressure to create and learn while building your career. Enter the DARC Social Club, a safe space for artists to hang out, chat, make friends, and relax. This is a place for artists to talk to like-minded creatives and exhale all the outside noise.
What to expect:
- Snacks, soft drinks, and laid-back conversations (no awkward icebreakers, promise 🙃)
- Fun activities like writing a letter to your future self ✍️
- A whiteboard for sharing your creative “asks” and “offers” with the community
- An opportunity to brainstorm ideas for future meet-ups
With low-effort optional activities to keep the social energy rolling, attendees can participate in fun get-to-know-you activities or take it easy on the sidelines. There are no expectations in this space – attendees are encouraged to do whatever calls to them. Bring a friend (the more the merrier 👯♀️), share your creative challenges, and let’s get inspired together. No pressure, no formalities – just a supportive space to hang out.
WHEN IS THE DARC SOCIAL CLUB?
Come join us on October 25th at the Loop for the first-ever meetup of the DARC Social Club to get to know your fellow DARC members, participate in some fun activities, and discover a space where you are encouraged to ✨just chill✨
Future DARC Social Club meetups will occur bi-monthly, with occasional guest speakers and artist talks. Keep your eyes on our website + socials for future announcements!
