STIR Gathering
*This networking event is for artists, creatives, people working in the arts, and arts administrators.
Join us for another gathering in The NEON District! Free to attend. Registration required.
- Meet up at NEON District locations and see what the featured business has to offer.
- Network creatively with other artists and with local art professionals.
- Learn about local organizations, opportunities, and how to get involved.
STIR Gatherings provide a space for artists to network creatively with each other and with local art professionals, giving them the opportunity to learn about local organizations and how they can get involved.
These events also connect artists with the Norfolk arts district (The NEON District) by introducing them to the businesses that are located within it.
All event registrants will receive one drink ticket (21 & up) and will be able to purchase additional alcoholic drinks if desired.
This STIR Gathering will take place in Hurrah TVFA (Nusbaum Family TV & Film Academy). Launched in early 2025, this academy extends The Hurrah Player’s traditional stage-acting education to the screen. This addition is a HUGE asset to The NEON Dirstrict.
