GALLIM happy hour
Conversations, questions, ideas, connections, community
HAPPY HOUR is a free and informal conversation series over a glass of something delicious. This relaxed platform invites our communities to get closer to artists and luminaries, to discuss a life in the arts. The hour-long conversation explores our evolving field—what can change, how we can grow, and what we can create through collaboration.
