Sanger Hall, Queens (near LIC)
A new year, a new space — and this one is indoors, cozy, and full of vibes. Join us for an intimate winter gathering with live music, open mic, local vendors, poets, and comedians. Expect a mix of jazz, hip hop, R&B, acoustic sounds, and handmade goods from local creatives.
🌺 Why This Matters
The Art Meetup Series is 100% grassroots — no sponsors, no institutions, just one woman and a community determined to hold space for artists who’ve been overlooked or underpaid. Every ticket and donation goes right back into keeping this alive: venue rentals, audio gear, food, and artist support. Without that, there’s no space to gather. It’s a community-powered platform for underrepresented artists to be seen, valued, and celebrated.
💌 Ticket Options
🎟 Food/Drink: Entry + 1 food entrée or drink ( $25 goes to the venue, $5 keeps the Meetup alive )
🎟 Limited-Time Special: Buy 1 ticket, bring a friend free
🎟 Free RSVP: Suggested 1-drink or food minimum at the venue
🎟 Donation: Pay-what-you-can to support accessible events
🛍 Vendor: Includes a table + 1 entrée or drink (vendors keep 100% of sales)
✨ Why Join
-- Limited space, secure your spot early
-- All ages, supportive, judgment-free crowd
-- 100% of ticket funds go to the venue, so artists shine without hidden costs
-- Your support builds the foundation for future meetups all season long
This is a space you step into. If you believe in this kind of community, show up, spread the word, or donate. Together, we’re creating the future we want to see.
