NFT AI ART Columbus

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.

BAM Cocktail Mixer

## The Final BAM! | BL&F at the Columbus Museum of Art 🎨✨ We’re closing out the BAM season with one last night at the Columbus Museum of Art — and BL&F is pulling up! ❤️🖤 Join us Thursday, September 10 from **7–9 PM** for a laid-back evening of art, music, good energy, and even better company. If you’ve never been to BAM (Bar, Art & Music), this is the perfect one to catch. The museum comes alive after hours with music, drinks, art, and one of the best outdoor spaces in the city. ### THE PLAN We’ll meet up around **7 PM**, grab a drink, mingle, explore, and enjoy the evening together. No complicated itinerary. No awkward networking. Just come ready to unwind and meet some good people. **📍 Columbus Museum of Art** **📅 Thursday, September 10** **⏰ 7:00–9:00 PM** ### COME SOLO. BRING A FRIEND. JUST PULL UP. New to BL&F? **You are absolutely welcome.** You do not need to already know someone in the group. The whole point is to get out of the house, experience something different, and make some real-life connections along the way. And remember — **BL&F is not a dating group.** We’re building community, friendships, experiences, and actual social lives beyond the screen. **Real people. Real connections. Real fun.** Let’s send the BAM season out right. 🥂🎨🎶 **It’s more than an event. IT’S AN EXPERIENCE.**

The Unwritten Chapter

**Is there a version of your next chapter you haven't let yourself imagine yet?** Most of us have thought plenty about the practical side of what's ahead — but far fewer of us have actually sat down and thought about the rest of it: who we are without the roles that used to define our days, what we're genuinely curious about, who we want in our corner for this next stretch. I'm hosting **The Unwritten Chapter**, a 60-minute interactive workshop just for members of this group. You'll take a short, private self-assessment (no one sees your score but you), have a couple of real conversations in small groups, and leave with some honest clarity. It's not a lecture. It's not about finances. It's the conversation most of us never get to have out loud. Space is limited so it stays a real conversation, not a big room of strangers.

Dinner at Giammarcos

Silent Disco!

**Silent Discos** are popping up all around Downtown. Flip through stations of chart-toppers and hot hits while dancing to the beat at outdoor block parties. **How it works**: You grab some headphones and find the tune that moves you and...move. The silly part is, your friend may be on a different channel (and moving to a different beat)! [The Junto](https://thejuntohotel.com/) is a fav spot to gather. Rooftop bar. Open air bar streetside. Lobby for lounging. *It's my pleasure to show you around!* ***Come by early for Easy Hour - discounted drinks and apps til 6pm!*** **Parking**: drive around the block to find *street parking* or *lots near COSI*. Parking garages under the condo units are great, too.

Contra dance with Big Scioty on Sept. 5 - First Congregational Church

**Caller: River Abel** **Band: Raven & Goose** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** 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. Snacks to share are always welcome!
