24 Seats. One Long Table.

 

A creative gathering where strangers become collaborators through art, wine, food, and playful conversation.

 

Think of it like book club, but for art.

What It Is

Make Connect Reset is an intimate gathering designed to bring people together through creativity and shared experience.

Around one long table—just 24 seats—we slow down, make things with our hands, share food and wine, and connect with people we might not otherwise meet.

Each gathering includes simple creative prompts, conversation, and a playful atmosphere where curiosity matters more than skill.

No art experience required.

Just come as you are.

What Happens at the Table

Each gathering unfolds slowly around a single long table.

The evening begins with a guided creative session where you'll craft a thoughtfully designed, high-quality piece of art to take home—something meaningful, beautiful, and uniquely yours.

Along the way, we weave in collaborative art moments—meditative, playful exercises created together as a table. These shared projects invite curiosity, reflection, and a sense of collective creativity.

Throughout the night, we share wine, food, and conversation with people who arrived as strangers but quickly become collaborators.

We always close the evening with a community-building ritual—a simple activity designed to connect the table and carry the spirit of the gathering beyond the room.

You might draw, collage, paint, write, or explore materials you haven’t touched in years.

No art experience required.
Just curiosity, presence, and a willingness to make something together.

Why We Do This

In a world full of screens and schedules, we rarely gather simply to create and connect.

Make Connect Reset is an invitation to pause.

To make something with your hands.
To share a table with new people.
To leave feeling a little more human than when you arrived.
