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.

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
There are currently no meetups scheduled
We are having a little holiday break and will be back in the Autumn with more meetups. Sign up to the mailing list to be the first to receive updates on upcoming meetups and workshops.
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.
