The Hour is a bi-monthly, one-hour gathering for artists, educators, producers, creative and cultural workers. No pressure. No pitch. No to-do list. Just one hour of being in the room – showing up as exactly as you are.

The Hour: Connect  - a regular, informal space for artists, educators, freelancers, and cultural leaders to connect.
The Hour: Spotlight - the regular supportive space with the spotlight on a guest speaker to help generate powerful conversations. 

Sessions will be online on Zoom and FREE.

There is value in connecting with others to share best practice and celebrating each other.
