Collab - LA's Best Monthly Creative Networking Party!

The Collab Art Salon and Creative Networking Party for August was awesome!

So much good stuff, so we're going to do what any sane, unpaid, volunteer event organizers would do, and work hard to make September even better! We've got a plan for an event focusing on the creative sensations of...

Touch. Scent. Taste. Emotion....

and you are going to help us make it AMAZING!

What is Happening This Month at Collab? We are putting together an awesome line up of speakers, sound artists, DJs, musicians, technicians and more. We've already got a few great guests, but now we're ready to add YOU! So let us know if you'd like to speak, set up some art, perform, or otherwise share your audio experience and tap into the Collab community for your next big thing!

Join Rebecca Roy of the Magic Brush Room for an interactive introduction to the history, materials, and craft of incense, followed by a fragrance game inspired by the Japanese tradition of kōdō.

TABLE for 7. Monica and Kevin will be discussing their new event, a combination of taste and conversation in an intimate, curated environment. Table for 7 launches September 12th, and they want you to be involved!

PERFORMERS
The Merry Wives of Windsor, an astonishing troupe of female singers and musicians, will be performing original and classic folk ballads. These are songs that make you want to dance like a 16th century lord or lady, or cry a river with melancholy. Bring tissues to dab your eyes!
