Networking Events

At Erie Arts and Culture, we believe in the power of community and the importance of bringing creative minds together. Our Networking Meetups are designed to foster connections, inspire collaboration, and provide valuable resources to artists, creative entrepreneurs, and cultural professionals throughout Northwestern Pennsylvania.

Creative Crowd

New in 2025: Creative Crowd is now a quarterly meetup at select host sites, offering fresh and inspiring settings for conversations and connections. Since launching Creative Crowd as a monthly get together in 2022, we've seen more and more opportunities arise for creatives to connect, network, and share ideas. We've adapted our model to complement this exciting selection of programs.

Be part of Our Crowd in 2025:

Join us from 5:30 - 7:30 PM for an evening of networking, inspiration, and fun. Snacks and drinks are on us, so come out and be a part of the conversation. No RSVP required!

Regional Coffee Talks

Introducing our new Regional Coffee Talks! These monthly meetups are designed to be a bit more intentional, focusing on specific topics that are beneficial to the counties we serve. Each month, we will visit a different county and dive into discussions on topics such as grants and funding, marketing strategies, and more.
