Pour Toi is partnering with Space to Grow to host a creative evening centering curiosity, art, and community. It all starts with a mystery art kit — you don’t know exactly what’s inside, but there’s a theme and a prompt to guide you. You paint, experiment, and share what you’ve made with others. Pour Toi combines creativity with mindfulness, reducing stress, and fostering connection. Burnout is all too common in the design + tech community and it can hold us back from pursuing our best work or dream career path. Using art therapy principles, we’ll create a space where designers can ditch the screen, center their creative intuition, and unlock new ideas — whether about their practice or their career.
