trashscapes: a noticing (and photo) walk

trashscapes: a noticing (and photo) walk

Sat, Oct 17, 3:00 PM
From trashscapes: noticing walks

**LOOK DOWN MORE!** ​ ​A casual walk through the East Village for anyone who wants to slow down, look more carefully at what's around them, and capture what they find. On this walk, we'll move slowly through the neighborhood looking for things worth pausing at and then figuring out how to capture them. I suggest a phone or camera, but feel free to bring a sketchbook or whatever you prefer. Any amount (including 0) of art experience is welcome. :) **this event is pay-what-you-want. the suggested price is $10** **only want to pay $5? use promo code "five".** **only want to pay $1? use promo code "one"** ​--- ​This walk is inspired by trashscapes—an ongoing photography project that started with a simple habit: noticing the accidental compositions of debris and found matter on NYC streets. Over a decade of daily walks, the habit became an archive of what gets left behind. I'm drawn to the way found matter interplays with the city's infrastructure—using it as framing, finding balance in color and form, and making the incidental feel composed.

The Late Bloomers Collective: Designing Your Career Blueprint

The Late Bloomers Collective: Designing Your Career Blueprint

Thu, Oct 8, 11:00 PM
From The Late Bloomers Collective

Imagine a room where you don't have to explain why you work the way you work — you just do. The Late Bloomers Collective is that room: a community for neurodivergent women and nonbinary folks to stop performing and start building careers that work with your brain instead of against it. You already know how to survive rooms that weren't built for you. Come to one that was — a place where we learn from each other's successes, sharing the one hack that's working for you so you leave with five more. This isn't therapy. It's professional development that fits how your brain works. What to expect: * Small-group conversations about what you're working on and what's getting in your way * A rapid-fire round of real hacks from real people * A hands-on art and visioning exercise around building a professional environment that's tailored to you * Light bites and drinks to keep you going This is for everyone who got the memo late that "just try harder" was never the answer, and isn't interested in pretending otherwise. Come as you are — you don't need to translate yourself here. RSVP here: https://luma.com/g8v81wnd RSVP on Meetup to save the date, but please claim your Pay-What-You-Want ticket on Luma to reserve your spot!

Grand Central Murder Mystery & Scavenger Hunt (+ After Party)

Grand Central Murder Mystery & Scavenger Hunt (+ After Party)

Thu, Oct 8, 11:00 PM
From The Most Awesome Things To Do In New York City
4.8

**\*TO ATTEND GET TICKETS AT:** [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/grand-central-murder-mystery-scavenger-hunt-tickets-1039615376577?](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/grand-central-murder-mystery-scavenger-hunt-tickets-1039615376577) (This is co-organized by 30+ groups so don't go by RSVPs you see here. We'll have a good # attending. Must prepay to attend.) You don’t need any special skills — just a sense of adventure and curiosity! This unique scavenger hunt is all about connecting, uncovering history, exploring Grand Central and solving a mystery. Join us for a fun, social adventure at our Grand Central Murder Mystery Scavenger Hunt. Get ready to have a good time making new friends and solving a mystery. Plus, you'll find out things about Grand Central you never knew before! How It Works: * **When you arrive we will put you on teams - if you don’t already have one (90% of those attending will not have a team).** * **Each team will be given a list of clues and 75 minutes to head to Grand Central to uncover the mystery of Mary’s demise. The team with the most points wins.** * **Once everyone is back we'll safely socialize where you can share your experiences with the others.** The Theme: Meet Up Mary is a regular on the social circuit in New York. You'd probably know her if you've been out before. She was very personable, friendly and bubbly! Unfortunately Mary met a horrific end at Grand Central and the police need you help to solve her case! Join us for this fun and educational night where you will get to explore every corner of the NYC Landmark in ways that you never have before! (If you have participated in our other Grand Central Hunts no worries as this is a completely different experience) FAQs: **Can I come alone?** Yes about 90% will attend on their own. **What's dress code?** Wear what you had on at work. It's casual and comfortable. **What are the ages?** 21 and over. We'll have a good mix of ages. **How much to attend?** $25 (goes to $35 as event gets closer). **Do I have to buy in advance?** Yes. Space is limited and this will sell out. To find more fun events follow: [https://www.eventbrite.com/o/new-york-city-social-events-10797526283](https://www.eventbrite.com/o/new-york-city-social-events-10797526283)
