What is Collab? Started in 2005, it's a monthly art salon, creative mixer, network/collaboration event and a place to help figure out what you want to get up to next. Anyone is welcome, it is super easy to meet people, share ideas, get inspired, find collaborators, or get help on your project! It is a creative retreat for all of you artists, entrepreneurs, techies, makers, mad scientists, film folk, performers, investors, inventors and all around awesome creatives.Our guest speakers are structured around an ask and give format. They are sharing their projects, their experiences, their amazing talents. And in return, they are making an ask of the community to help make their creative dreams reality.
