About Us

Three friends standing together in a music venue, with stage drums visible in the background. They are smiling and embracing each other, with one person holding a microphone.

Since 2024, we bring together creators from different fields to collaborate, inspire and connect.

We are more than an event series.
We are a platform where art, music and culture meet community.
