Artist Meetups Sydney

[RESCHEDULED] Van Gogh Coffee Club: Sydney Creatives & Content Creators | 크리에이터

🌻🌌 **Van Gogh Coffee Club** Ever wished you could step inside a Van Gogh painting… with a coffee in one hand and new creative friends on the other? Van Gogh Coffee Club is a small, intentional meetup for young creatives (18–34) at The Grounds of Alexandria’s brand‑new Van Gogh garden — sunflowers, swirling skies and limited‑edition themed drinks that look insane on camera. * Very 감성 (aesthetic vibe) * Very 映える (photo-worthy) * Very 出片 (great for photos) * Very “how is this in Sydney?” ✨ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎨 **This is for you if:** * You’re a creative, musician, photographer, designer, filmmaker or content creator — hobby or pro * You have friends, but feel like no one really gets your creative brain * You want real collabs and maybe your next viral idea, not cringe networking * You love little creative side quests — Reels, TikToks, photo dumps, Naver blog moments, Xiaohongshu-style shots, café content or just beautiful places that make your brain go “wait… this is content” 📸 * You’re into 인스타 감성 (Instagram aesthetic), 릴스각 (Reel-worthy moment), ブログ映え (blog-worthy), 小红书感 (Xiaohongshu vibe) or just anything that feels a little cinematic * 혼자 와도 괜찮아요 (coming alone is okay) * 一人参加OK (solo attendance OK) * 一个人来也可以 (coming alone is fine) * มาคนเดียวได้ (you can come alone) 🫶 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✨ **What we’ll do** * Meet at The Grounds, grab a Van Gogh‑inspired drink and do relaxed intros — no scary pitch circle * Wander the Van Gogh laneway together — glowing sunflowers, starry‑night colours, perfect for Reels, TikTok and photos * Take content without feeling awkward because everyone else is there for the same reason. 릴스각 제대로 (proper Reel-worthy moment) 📸 * Hang out, share ideas and see who you naturally vibe with for future collabs * Maybe you meet a photographer for your next shoot * Maybe you meet a musician for your next video * Maybe you meet a designer, artist, filmmaker, blogger, editor, dancer 💃 * Reel maker or someone who just gets your exact creative chaos * Or maybe you just have coffee in a Van Gogh garden with cool people * Also valid 🌻 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🍰 **Drinks & desserts** To visit the exhibit, The Grounds asks that each person orders from the café/bar. We recommend the limited‑edition specials, made by world‑class chefs at Australia’s most famous café: ⭐ Starry Bite cake 👀 Starry Eyed cocktail 🌻 Sunflower Power cake 🥤 Sunflower Soda These are very much “camera eats first” desserts: * 인스타 감성 (Instagram aesthetic) * 映える (photo-worthy) * 很出片 (great for photos) * ถ่ายรูปสวยมาก (beautiful for photos) 📸 Once this activation ends, these exact cakes and drinks are gone forever — it’s a true one‑time menu. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🤝 **Small on purpose** The café has limited seating and the exhibit is temporary, so we’re keeping this meetup small and intentional — people who actually create and want to connect, not just anyone passing by. * Not a corporate networking thing * Not a loud party thing * Not a “stand around and pretend to be professional” thing More like: * coffee * art * music people * camera people * design people * content people * soft chaos * and “wait how have we not met before?” energy A little 꿀잼 (super fun). A little エモい (emotional/cute vibe). A little 有氛围感 (has atmosphere). ✨ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎟 **Tickets, RSVPs & how to join** The venue/exhibit are free, but this hosted Circles meetup requires a paid ticket so we can keep it curated and cover the effort to run it. Tap the Meetup RSVP button first, then 👉 [secure your spot](https://checkout.square.site/merchant/ML9B6K0NKVNBZ/checkout/EAHP4HDSLGS6A45DCMTUJ6XC) 🎉 Once you've secured your spot, [DM us on Instagram @Circles_AU](https://www.instagram.com/circles_au/) straight away to be added to the private group chat — 📍 **that’s where you’ll get the exact meetup location**, day-of updates and early access to who else is coming. Don’t wait on this one, spots fill fast and the group chat fills up even faster ✨

Drawing II / Course for intermediate drawing skills

WE HAVE ONLY THREE PLACES AVAILABLE FOR THIS COURSE DRAW II . Urban Landscapes This is a seven week course focussed on an urban landscape on Sydney Harbour. Urban landscapes provide an opportunity to draw structure within the landscape which is a great way for beginner drawing students to segue into landscape and the different drawing approaches for that genre. The first session is spent drawing on-site in a Sydney Harbour location learning how artists make studies that are useful as reference material for works created and developed in the studio. Weeks 2 – 7 in this course are spent in the studio with experienced artist [Carmel Byrne](www.carmelbyrne.com) to help develop ideas and to experiment further with materials and scale in drawing. Students must provide their own materials for this course and we’ll back up in the studio with any materials that will help extend your vocabulary in drawing along with scale and techniques. Level: Intermediate drawing skills Runs 23 May - 4 July 2026 Saturdays 1 – 4pm Book here - http://www.scratchartspace.com/book/#!/Drawing-II-Urban-Landscape/p/339428010/category=0
