Our Episodes

The Concept

GEMSNEXTDOOR is an ongoing event series that blurs the lines between concert, exhibition, and community gathering. Each episode is a curated experience where emerging artists, designers, and creatives come together to showcase their work, share their stories, and connect with an audience in an intimate, multidimensional setting.

At the core of every episode is collaboration. A musical act performs in custom fashion with a cover shot. Visual artists, photographers, and other creatives and entrepreneurs are given space to present their craft, while the stage opens up to voices from the crowd giving passion and authenticity a spotlight.

Audience watching a performance in a dimly lit indoor venue with hanging lamps and exposed concrete walls.

Episode II marked our debut at Fabrik23. A night charged with rap, live tattooing, tarot readings and bold street fashion. It was a raw celebration of individuality and presence: Loud, fearless, and completely unapologetic.
