Pantheon Arts Nexus (PAN) Commune Multi-Medium Mixer

3 - 5pm, Secret Garden 

This Multi-Medium Mixer connects creators to other creators so they can collaborate with each other on future projects. Basically, it's speed dating for artists.

Structure

We'll begin in groups of similar creators, asking questions and sharing personal truths in a safe space. Then, we'll connect artists of differing mediums. And finally,  we will conduct a fun simulation to practice open ideation with the folks you’ve connected with!

 

Pantheon Arts Nexus (PAN) hosts this event, and is our creator to creator networking Commune. We aim to connect artists to other artists in a hybrid and nomadic method because everyone communes differently!

Enter the secret Garden for interactive fun and engagement.
