ArtsClub brings people together to learn about, discuss and create artwork. Our events are designed to harness the power of art to inspire new ideas, conversations and connections. Founded in 2018, ArtsClub now has a presence in NY and DC and hosts hundreds of events every year. No experience is necessary to enjoy ArtsClub events — only a desire to express yourself and get to know others through the process of discussing and creating artwork.
