What is Art House Exchange?
Art House Exchange is a gathering that exists for the exchange of ideas and creative discussion across mediums.
This event is geared toward the creative community at large, not one specific discipline. The Exchange provides attendees opportunities for collaboration, inspiration, encouragement, and discussion between fellow musicians, writers, artists, performers, entrepreneurs, and all others who share a passion for creativity and imaginative living.
The evening includes facilitated yet casual discussion in small groups, with time for general conversation and networking and maybe even a little artistic inspiration as we hear from our featured artists.
