Introducing Our Meetup Hosts:

Vanessa is the founder of Artivist Haven. She’s Taiwanese and she moved to Brighton in 2023 to study International Politics. Vanessa believes art has the power to challenge, heal, and connect people. She is passionate about helping artists turn that power into real-world impact.

Elise, also known by art alias SaberCosmos, is an Illustrator with a love for big cardigans, sweet treats, and beautiful stationery. Her digital illustrations celebrate all things cosy, brought to life through detailed environments and playful touches of whimsy. Elise has led and curated a variety of creative events, including educational talks, live portrait drawing, and feedback sessions for local university students.

Elise believes that ‘Meet, Mingle, and Make Art’ will be an excellent opportunity to strengthen the bonds within Brighton’s creative network, and is excited for a fun, light-hearted event.

We try to make our meetups accessible to all creatives, but events aren't cheap to run. We only manage to hire the space at the library and provide refreshments thanks to our generous funders. Please donate to us when you book your tickets. Your donation will support our services and campaign.
