*Exposure Don’t Pay the Rent. So Why Do Creatives Still Say Yes?* *الإكسبوجر ما بيدفعش الإيجار. طب ليه المبدعين لسه بيقولوا آه؟* Because the answer isn’t simple. لأن الإجابة مش بسيطة. Sometimes free work is a trap. أوقات الشغل ببلاش بيبقى فخ. Sometimes it’s the beginning of something real. وأوقات بيبقى بداية لحاجة حقيقية. Sometimes it’s exploitation. أوقات بيبقى استغلال. Sometimes it’s a strategic investment in your future. وأوقات بيبقى استثمار استراتيجي في مستقبلك. This meetup is about the grey zone no one defines clearly enough. الميت أب ده عن المنطقة الرمادية اللي محدش بيعرف يحددها بوضوح كفاية. We’re bringing artists and freelancers together to debate: هنجمع فنانين ومستقلين عشان نفتح نقاش حقيقي عن: * when “exposure” is actually useful * إمتى يكون الـ "exposure" فعلًا مفيد * when collaboration becomes soft exploitation * وإمتى التعاون يتحول لاستغلال ناعم * whether unpaid work can ever be worth it * وهل الشغل من غير مقابل ممكن فعلًا يبقى مستاهل * and how to tell the difference before you say yes * وإزاي تفرق بينهم قبل ما تقول آه If you’ve ever questioned your value, your boundaries, or the true cost of saying “yes for now,” this conversation is for you. لو عمرك سألت نفسك عن قيمتك، أو حدودك، أو الثمن الحقيقي لإنك تقول "ماشي مؤقتًا"، فالنقاش ده معمول ليك. 📅 Date | التاريخ: Saturday 11/4/2026 ⏰ Time | الوقت: 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM 📍Location | المكان: Coworker - Heliopolis Limited spots - Reserve your spot أماكن محدودة - احجز مكانك https://forms.gle/xJhLJ6cR5fNopHMY7 See you in the room. 🙏🏻

**Caller: Kim Thompson** **Band: Full Moon Country Dance Orchestra** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle.

Join us for lunch at Cooper’s Hawk in Easton. If the weather is nice, we’ll enjoy lunch on their gorgeous patio!

We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator. Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! • What we'll do Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros. 10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible. See you at The Café on Saturday!

Our weekly Lincoln Street Salsa event is cancelled for Saturday 4/11 due to our studio being rented out for a private event. **However, we'll be back on Saturday 4/18, 8 pm - 1 am, with the Live Salsa Band!** **Buy tickets and get more info on our website!** [LincolnStreetSalsa.com](https://columbussalsadancing.com/) See you on the dance floor!
