December 4th

5-7:30pm

We're so excited to launch our first

Screen-Free Art Social!

Lock your phone away and join us for a relaxing evening doing forgotten hobbies and connecting with others. We’re inviting you to bring along your favorite screen-free pastime - be it sketching, reading,  knitting, coloring, writing, or any other hobby that has you lose track of time.

Don't have a hobby? Fear not! We also have self-guided art packets available for purchase.

Let’s be honest: life feels loud. Most nights, we default to scrolling, zoning out, or “resting” in ways that don’t actually refill us.

But part of you misses the simple joys…
✨ Making something with your hands
✨ Getting lost in a book
✨ Being around people without the constant buzz of notifications
✨ Feeling creative, connected, and present

At this event, you’ll enjoy:

  • Relaxing “me time” to reconnect with yourself

  • 🎨 Creative flow with the hobby you bring — or a self-guided art packet

  • 🤝 Easy, organic connection with like-minded humans IRL

  • A warm, welcoming atmosphere inside Homa Café

  • 📚 A chance to lose track of time — in the best way

  • 😊 A lighter, calmer, more grounded version of you

💬 Common Questions

You've got questions. We've got answers.

Do I need to bring anything?

Just your favorite screen-free hobby! Sketching, reading, knitting, coloring, writing—anything you love. You can also purchase one of our self-guided art packets.

Is the event really phone free?

Phones will be tucked away during the event so everyone can be fully present. If you prefer to keep yours with you, that’s totally fine—just turn it off and keep it out of sight so we can all enjoy the screen-free atmosphere.

Can I come alone?

Yes! Many people come solo. The environment is warm, welcoming, and full of like-minded creatives, so you’ll feel right at home.

What's included in my ticket?

A cozy, welcoming space; dedicated “me” time; connection activities; group art options; and a phone-free evening to reset. All you need to bring is your hobby. Project packets are available for purchase if you'd like one.

Do I have to participate in the group activites?

Not at all. Everything is optional. You can stay in your solo flow or jump into our group art project, games, or connection bingo whenever you feel inspired.

Are drinks and snacks included?

Drinks, mocktails, and food are available for purchase from Homa Café. They’re generously hosting us, so we encourage supporting the café during the event.

What is the Pop-Up Art Café?

The Pop-Up Art Café as the antidote to the algorithm. We host a rotating menu of cozy, low-key events designed to help you put your phone down and reconnect—with yourself, with others, and with your creativity. Our mission is to build community around real connection.
