🎨 FREEHAND Creative Words Game Join us for a relaxed and fun creative session where imagination, collaboration, and artistic expression come together. FREEHAND is a creative community organized by Canvasians Events and Conferences, bringing together artists, designers, photographers, creative professionals, students, and anyone interested in art and creativity. During this session, we play the FREEHAND Creative Words Game. A theme or "world" is selected first, then random word cards are drawn from a prepared deck. Each participant interprets the word in their own way and creates a drawing inspired by the selected theme. In the collaborative version of the game, participants work on shared artworks. After 10 minutes, each drawing is passed to another participant, who receives a new word and continues developing the artwork. The process continues until multiple artists have contributed to the same piece. In the individual version, several random words are selected, and each participant creates a complete artwork inspired by those words and the chosen theme. There is no right or wrong interpretation. The goal is to explore creativity, discover new ideas, and enjoy the artistic process in a friendly and supportive environment. ✅ Free participation ✅ Paper, colors, and materials provided free of charge ✅ Open to all skill levels ✅ Feel free to invite friends and family ✅ No pressure, no competition, just creativity Participants are welcome to order food, coffee, or drinks from the café according to their preference. Orders are paid individually by each participant. The venue generously hosts our gathering without charging us, and FREEHAND does not charge any attendance fee for this activity. Come draw, collaborate, meet new people, and enjoy an evening of creativity.

*Canvas & Contemplation: Deep Reflections Through Paintings* **Fee:** AED 30 **Duration:** 2 hours **Format:** Two paintings, one per hour — deep group discussion follows each What happens when philosophy meets paint and canvas? Welcome to **Canvas & Contemplation: Deep Reflections Through Paintings**, a unique gathering where we explore the profound connection between visual art and the human experience. Each session, we’ll sit with two powerful artworks — not to critique them like art historians, but to let them speak to our minds and souls. You'll be surprised by the range of interpretations one painting can evoke — where one person sees despair, another may find hope; where one sees chaos, another finds divine order. This is a space for meaningful, respectful conversation that opens us up to new perspectives and helps us see more — in the art, and in ourselves. Whether you're a philosopher at heart, an artist in spirit, or simply curious about how we see and feel, this event offers a space to slow down, look deeply, and think together. **Come with an open mind, leave with new eyes.** **Whatsapp link**: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FytQQgS85I61vS6nkduLm5

**🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** **Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎** **Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic.** **The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌** **📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?** **Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the** [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CdjwVxcf2EO6vcLWUhaIdk?mode=ems_copy_c)**, along with jump-off points to get the conversation going.** **General Meeting Agenda** **Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline:** ***3:30-3:45- People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the official start.*** ***3:45-3:55 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines.* *** 3:55-5:20 - Participants share their general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them.** *** 5:20-5:30 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions, organizer then concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo.** *** 5:30 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other.** **🧧PRICING?** **Practical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend! We just request that that you buy a beverage or food item as our venue requires it to give us a private room.** **💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY** **🗣*** *“I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam** **🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel** **🤓 FAQ** *** What will we talk about? What's the topic?** **The topic for the week is shared every Sunday in the Whatsapp group. We try to add the topic to the comment section on this event page as well but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our** [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CdjwVxcf2EO6vcLWUhaIdk?mode=ems_copy_c)**.** ***Do I need to study or read anything to attend?** **No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what YOU think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it, but it's not required.** *** Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on?** **The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school.** *** Is it mostly men that attend?** **Surprisingly, no! Although philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms.** *** Can I come alone?** **Of course you can, we encourage it :)** *** Can I be late?** **Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation.** *** Where do you meet?** **The location is posted in Meetup and our **[Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CdjwVxcf2EO6vcLWUhaIdk?mode=ems_copy_c)** group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group!

Opportunity to gather post-meeting, tell stories (mostly lies), ask questions about burning photography/post-production issues, and ponder the future of our country and planet. Oh and food...

This will be our regular monthly meeting, with a new topic picked each month. Topics to be determined and posted soon.

You can sleep in on the Semiquincentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.

These meetings will be a building block approach to learning photographic mastery over three disciplines: Completely Mechanical (CM) - A 13-week series Completely Exposed (CE) - A 26-week series Completely Composed (CC) - A 52-week series All three series will run concurrently and will dovetail as follows: Q3/26 - CM (Iter 1), CE (Iter 1, Pt 1), CC (Iter 1, Pt1) Q4/26 - CM (Iter 2), CE (Iter 1, Pt 2), CC (Iter 1, Pt2) Q1/27 - CM (Iter 3), CE (Iter 2, Pt 1), CC (Iter 1, Pt3) Q2/27 - CM (Iter 4), CE (Iter 2, Pt 2), CC (Iter 1, Pt4) That's likely confusing, but essentially, CM offered 4 times in that period, CE offered 2 times, and CC offered 1 time. **TO BE CLEAR - THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THESE CLASSES.** This is an aggressive series, with presentations, homework, group shoots to be added in, likely at LEAST twice a month, image critiques, and an expectation that you are willing to put in the work to elevate your photography significantly. Open to all levels and all equipment levels. Don't let hesitation about your skillset and/or gear keep you from a one-time opportunity. The group will meet every Tuesday, with periodic exceptions, and we will try to keep as close as possible to the original plan. Obviously, more data is coming and will be published as this is further developed, but now is the time to decide if you want to be a part of this.
