We’re excited to introduce a new version of Chill Sessions this summer, Chill Sessions: Creative Meet-Ups.

Over the past year, we’ve heard from local creatives who are looking for more casual ways to connect. More opportunities to meet fellow creatives. More space to talk through ideas, ask questions, share works-in-progress, or simply spend time around people who understand… So, we’re trying something a little different!

This summer, ASI’s Outreach and Engagement Coordinator, Gaitrie Subryan, will host casual morning meet-ups at local coffee shops. There’s no formal agenda and no pressure. You can come to network, co-work, workshop a new idea, or just enjoy the conversation.
