For two years straight, this meet-up has pulled in everyone from heavy-hitter artists to folks just picking up a pencil for the first time. No pressure, no assignments, no ego—just a chance to draw, hang out, swap ideas, and be around people who actually get why you’re obsessed with making things. Happens every week ib Tuesday, exclusively at EYEDRUM and starts at 7 and ends at 12. Good vibes only!

Monday Night Creative Music Series: Ipek Eginli, Alexandria Smith, and Chris Childs; plus Brett Carson
Set 1: Brett Carson
Set 2: Ipek Eginli, Alexandria Smith, and Chris Childs
Brett Carson is a composer, pianist, improviser, poet, and theater artist based in Berkeley CA. His compositional work, which has been described as "fascinatingly intense" (Stephen Smoliar, SF Classical Voice), explores the juxtaposition of a gleefully chaotic plurality of musical approaches. This is combined with a penchant for surreal world-building and an exploration of the bizarre and uncanny, along with a commitment to writing for the voice and the stage.
Ipek Eginli, Alexandria Smith, and Chris Childs are each busy members of the Atlanta improvised music scene, and this new trio is an exciting meeting of these musical personalities.

Iriamu is the founder of the community driven, socio-political party, the Freak Flag Freedom Party. He is also a partner in the instrumental music festival, NoWordsATL.
NATHAN CHAMBERLAIN (he/him) is a Chicanx/Indigenous guitarist, curator, and composer who is based out of Brooklyn, NY.
