🎨 OPEN CANVAS — Jam · Create · Connect
Most Thursdays @ XCHC
🕕 Doors open: 6PM | 🍸 Bar open: 6–10PM | 🎟 Free / Koha
What happens when you plug a MIDI into a projection-mapped plant that moves to the percussion of a vintage synth… while someone paints a mural in the corner?
We’re keen to find out.
Open Canvas is a new kind of creative gathering — part jam session, part experimental playground, part social hangout. It’s an open invitation to explore ideas, materials, and sound together, without pressure or performance.
🎶 Bring your arsenal:
Instruments, laptops, samplers, modular, MIDI controllers, projectors, mapping software, sensors, cameras, lights, sewing machines, paint, VR rigs — if you make with it, bring it.
We’ll provide a blank canvas, some starter supplies (instruments, utensils, paint), and a few surprises. You bring the rest — including yourself.
🧠 This isn’t just a jam:
It’s a chance to get into flow, build with others, or quietly work on something alongside like-minded creatives.
Come to meet new people, try new gear, test new ideas — or just enjoy a Thursday evening surrounded by creative energy.
🧩 The bigger picture:
This is part of XCHC’s shift toward regular open hours and in-house programming. We’re mapping skills, interests, and roadblocks so we can better connect you with:
- Showcase events
- Rehearsal slots
- Content creation sessions
- Collaborative Exhibitions
- Mentorship opportunities
💡 Want to be part of future programs/space, talk to us at the event and we show you the database, and program.
—
Come through, bring your tools, bring your friends, bring your curiosity.
Every Thursday @ XCHC will alternate between Open Canvas and other social/networking events.
We’ll keep experimenting, adapting, and creating something beautiful — together.
