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 will be held on the second Thursday of every month this year 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.
