From Art Club - Montclair NJ

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**

Sinners Thanksgiving Week Watch Party

Sinners Thanksgiving Week Watch Party

Mon, Nov 23, 11:00 PM
From The Art Meetup: Find Your Creative People in NYC

**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. It's about becoming part of a creative community that supports artists year-round. Members receive discounted or free event access, access to our Creative Arts Resource Database, The Creative Plug, exclusive opportunities, and eligibility for paid creative projects. 🌳 **Coming in 2027:** The Art Meetup is planning a free community arts and wellness event at Maria Hernandez Park in Bushwick, supported by a $2,500 NYC Green Fund grant. Paid opportunities will be available for member creatives, including artist and workshop facilitator roles ($125 each), an audio technician ($250), a photographer ($250), and volunteer appreciation stipends ($100 each). To support the community and recognize engaged members, these paid opportunities are available exclusively to members who have been active for at least two months. Membership starts at just **$10/month**. **Join now, start building connections, and position yourself for future creative opportunities:** [https://theartmeetup.com/membership](https://theartmeetup.com/membership) ⚠️ **Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate and conversation-focused. Reserve your spot early before tickets sell out.** **New York is full of creative people. The challenge is finding them. 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. Reserve your spot and be part of the experience.**
