The Creative Hive is a monthly networking event designed to provide a friendly and casual space for artists, creatives, art educators, culture bearers, and arts administrators to establish and foster professional relationships.

The Creative Hive kicked off in January 2024 and created the opportunity for more than 17,000 unique connections. This year, we're back with new venues and new dates. The Creative Hive will be held on the last Tuesday of every month from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. Meeting locations rotate month-to-month to different creative and cultural venues within Pittsburgh.

Program highlights include:

  • Free and tailored to artists, creatives, art educators, culture bearers, and arts administrators.
  • No program, no agenda – just show up with a desire to network and connect.
  • Be a part of creating stronger connections and bonds, especially between disciplines and roles, to improve the breadth and strength of our sector.
  • Non/alcoholic beverages provided, with support from Barrel & Flow, as well as finger foods.

More dates will be announced soon. Reserve your free tickets now!
