This month, for your favorite Art Salon, we’re going to listen to your creative plans for the New Year and do our best to help you make them reality!

So in addition to all the usual awesome Collabing, we’re going to run with an idea put forward by one of our Collab regulars. We’ll have a little round table discussion and take down notes on what you’ve got planned. And then we’ll offer up suggestions on how to get it going. People who can help you, resources you can use for financing or implementing, ideas to move it forward to completion. And throughout the year we’re going to have follow up round table discussions where we’ll welcome you back to update your progress and we’ll see what the Collab Community can do to get things moving! If you’ve never participated in one of these sorts of peer motivation/pressure/assistance exercises, you’ll be amazed at how effective they can be.

And for all those who don’t want to participate, we still have food, drinks, and awesome conversation with awesome people. We’ll also have the screening room open for any shorts, reels, kickstarter pitches, or whatever else you’d like to show off and get feedback on.

We provide all you can eat pizza and drink beer/wine/sodas. We ask for a $5 donation to help us defray our costs, but if you’re broke, send us a message and we can add you to our set-up or door crew.

Nothing packs the Collab loft full of eager collaborators like our semi-annual “Film, Film, Film” night. People involved in filmmaking, people interested in filmmaking, and people who just like free food and booze…this is the night for you!

We have a 106″ screen in our screening room ready for you to show off! With seating for 50, this is your chance to get real feedback and find real people to work and partner with. We also have our 3rd floor “mini” screening room for intimate screenings (up to 6 people.)

If you have a film or short, a presentation on something related to filmmaking, or want to hold an open casting for talent and crew, let us know and we’ll add you to the schedule. At past film nights, we’ve had producers staff up entire films from scratch, so don’t discount the power of COLLAB!
