🎨Calling all artists and creatives!

Join the City’s arts and culture team for the re-launch of NEXUS! This popular meet up for artists and creatives is back after a hiatus while the Creative District came under the management of the City of Port Townsend. These informal get-togethers are a place to build connections between creative practitioners of all disciplines, share what you are working on and dreaming about, and talk about issues relevant to the creative community.

The first NEXUS will be on Wednesday, June 25, from 6:00-7:30 at Come Sew, 810 Water Street #2 in Port Townsend. Light refreshments will be available.
