What we’re about
This group is for people interested in exploring code as a creative medium. It's also for helping people find creative collaborators. (AI stuff is off-topic)
"Who should join?"
- Anyone, at any skill level, who's interested in programming in the context of the arts—whether visual, or sonic, or tactile, or interactive, or whatever you happen to be interested in.
"What will we do at the mostly-causal, online and/or in-person events?"
- Show each other projects we're working on, casually or in structured show-and-tells
- Collaborate or help each other with projects
- Teach each other skills, informally or via workshops
- Program, sometimes wordlessly, in a shared space
- Make cool stuff
- Go to museums or galleries
- Haunt the library
- Play with a pen plotter (AxiDraw SE/A3)
Also… we have a discord!
Upcoming events (1)
See all- Casual Creative Coding Demo Day No. 82101 W 29th Ave, Denver, CO
Let's hang! We're hosting a low-key event to get to know everyone (and their projects) a little better. We'll talk about what we're jamming on, what we're learning, what we'd like to work on or learn, etc. We'll have a TV we'll be able to connect to via HDMI.
See you soon!
New Venue

They’ll be hosted at The Company, a membership-supported creative space in LoHi.This location will also be the where we’ll host the annual demo night / art show / party, so if you’re interested in exhibiting, definitely come check out the space!
