Join your fellow artists, makers, filmfolk, performers, entrepreneurs, crafters, makers and mad scientists for an amazing gathering of minds
LA’s most eclectic creative gathering is back—this time with a focus on The Art of Performance and The Performance of Art.
If you’ve been looking for your people in LA—this is where they are.

Expect a room full of:
Artists · Designers · Filmmakers · Builders · Entrepreneurs · Musicians · Creative Technologists · And people doing things that don’t fit in a box
