CREATIVES IN THE CITY
CREATIVES
A New Meetup For Creatives
Sometimes being a creative in the city can be very lonely, so I decided to change that and start a new meetup especially for people to come together, make connections and create art together.
These meetups are designed to be friendly and welcoming so that you can come and feel confident that you’ll be able to talk to people and make some art.
Networking can be the most excruciating and hideous way of meeting people, so these meetups are the opposite of that! They are less focused on talking about yourself, and more focused on having a lovely time.
You can expect introductory art exercises to create easy ways to talk to new people, some fun group activities to get us to feel safe and comfortable together, and then time to make art with some guided and freeform exercises.

Friendly
All meetups are designed to be as friendly and welcoming as possible, so that you can turn up by yourself and feel like you belong in the room.

Joyful
In true Eloisa style, all meetups are meant to be joyful! They are not to be taken super seriously. We are here to have a good time!

No Art Experience Necessary
You don’t need to be an artist at all. The art is just there to facilitate conversations and give us something to connect with and focus on.
Upcoming Meetups and Workshops
If you’re a creative in the city, it can sometimes be a lonely place, especially around Christmas because you don’t have Christmas parties or colleagues to celebrate with. So this month we will be having our own party! We will be having a merry time, getting crafty for Christmas and hanging out with people. Everyone is welcome, not just self employed!
This 2 hour gathering is a place for us to come together, have nice chats, have a drink and make some art in a relaxed atmosphere with no pressure to create a masterpiece.
It will be a place for us to exchange ideas, create a community and make this a haven for us to be ourselves.
Expect Christmas card decorating, bauble making and more!
What to expect?
Each session will have a theme to guide us and a couple of warm up exercises to get us in the mood and get to know each other.
The rest of the session will be a relaxed evening of making art, chatting and getting to know each other. All materials will be included in the ticket price, but if there is something you’d like to bring then feel free to bring what ever you need to get creative.
A great selection of food and drinks can be purchased in the bar.
Where and when?
Location: 33s The Old Grocery Store, 33 Salisbury Rd, Harringay Ladder, London N4 1JY. A beautiful new venue in Haringey run by 2 brothers, who are bringing new life into the community.
Date: 2.12.26
Time: 6.30-8.30PM
Price: £12 (Everything provided)
Who is it for?
This workshop is for anyone who is in the creative industry and wants to meet other creatives. Whether you’re an artist, musician, designer etc. this is for you!
Whether you’re coming alone or coming with a friend, this is for everyone! I promise, I won’t bite!
Adults only.
Who will be running the session?
This session is run by me, Eloisa Henderson-Figueroa. I am a local artist specialising in bringing fun and joy back to people’s lives through murals, art and workshops. My passion is to create environments that help people thrive and feel confident in their abilities by using exciting materials and throwing away perfectionist ideas. I have been running workshops for clients like Sky Arts and Mencap, and absolutely love working in schools all around the UK.

The Face Behind The Idea
I’m Eloisa, a North London born Chilean/Scottish artist artist bringing colour and joy to people through my artwork. I want to make the world a better place through art and workshops.
I created these meetups because of a need in me to connect with other creatives in London. Being self employed can be a tough place and it’s nice to be able to hang out with people, share ideas, talk about life and have a few drinks!
I am naturally an introvert and was excruciatingly shy as a young person, but I have learnt to overcome my fears and create events for people to get to know one another and spread some joy.
Running workshops in schools, businesses and for events is a pleasure, as I get to see what is inside people’s brains and it makes me very happy!
I have run workshops for Sky Arts, Tate Modern, Crafts Council, Ted Baker and many schools around the UK.
