African American Creative Arts/Community Happy Hour

Harold McMillan posted this on our Facebook wall and I thought it was one of those important networking events that everyone should know about.

DiverseArts invites you, The African American Creative Industry/Arts Community, to join us for an early evening Happy Hour gathering at our gallery.

This is not a meeting, but a social hour, networking event, reunion, conversation opportunity, time to relax and enjoy a wine-tasting Happy Hour (sponsored by Twin Liquors). There will be informal discussion on the new African American Cultural Heritage District in East Austin and ways we might come together to collaborate on programming opportunities within the District.

As well, DiverseArts has a visual arts gallery appropriate for meetings, classes, screenings, poetry readings, receptions and such. We also have access to performance venues, The Historic Victory Grill and Kenny Dorham’s Backyard on East 11th Street. We want to do what we can to facilitate and, collaborate on, cultural programs within the District that showcase the creative talents of our community of African American Artists. We want to work with you! Perhaps conversations begun at this monthly Happy Hour Series can move us, together, in that direction.
