Art Workshops New York

Art Club November

Hello! Come join us at Trend Coffee (we will be at the big table in the far back) Basic art supplies will be provided, but most members bring their own personal projects they’ve been working on. This is not required. I (Katie the host) have been known to just doodle the whole time. Our #1 goal is to make new friends within the NJ artist community. We are very chatty and laugh a lot! Feel free to RSVP or just show up. **this is not a networking event**

Daniel's Comic Book Workshop

Sinners Thanksgiving Week Watch Party

**The best part of a great film isn't the credits. It's the conversation, connections, and ideas it sparks afterward.** Join The Art Meetup for a Thanksgiving-week screening of *Sinners* and an evening of conversation, creativity, and connection with fellow NYC artists, writers, filmmakers, musicians, designers, and culture lovers. The film has sparked conversations around storytelling, symbolism, culture, and identity. This is your chance to experience it with others and be part of that conversation in person. 🥂 Snacks, wine, beer, and other beverages will be provided (21+ for alcohol). 🎟️ Every attendee will be entered into a giveaway for a special prize. Before the screening, we'll gather for a relaxed discussion about the film's themes, hidden meanings, and cultural impact while getting to know other creative people from across the city. Whether you're looking for inspiration, new friends, future collaborators, or simply a more meaningful way to spend your evening, you'll find a welcoming community here. Coming solo? Most people do. Our events are designed to make meeting people feel natural, not awkward. **Monday\, November 23\, 2026 \| 6:00 PM \- 9:00 PM** **Fabrik DUMBO \| 20 Jay Street\, Suite 218\, Brooklyn\, NY 11201** 🎬 **Watch the trailer:** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKGxHflevuk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKGxHflevuk) **Tickets** General Admission: $25 Club Members: $12.50 VIP Members: Free **Membership Benefits** The Art Meetup isn't just about attending events.

Skip another night at home and join a room where conversations go deeper, ideas are exchanged, and strangers become collaborators, friends, and community. Great films give us something to talk about. Great gatherings give us people worth talking to. Your next creative opportunity, collaborator, or breakthrough connection could be sitting in the room.
