🏛️ Museum Mixers
Our museum mixers combine culture and connection in iconic settings. Guests explore a top museum at their own pace, coordinating through our event chat app, then gather at a nearby bar for a casual mixer. It’s one of the most natural ways to meet professionals and creatives in your city — no name tags, just good art and good conversation. Join here.
🎨 Art Gallery Hops
Our weekly gallery hops offer a casual, art-filled way to meet people. Every Thursday in NYC, we explore several contemporary art galleries in one neighborhood, enjoying conversation, culture, and often free wine. We’re bringing art crawls to cities outside NYC! Join here.
🎨 Art House and Art Parties
Art House is Early Burdz’s flagship exhibition format — a curated art show and social mixer featuring emerging artists across painting, photography, mixed media, and digital work. Each event gives artists a platform to show and sell their work while offering guests an intimate, vibrant evening at the intersection of art and community. We also host gallery parties in partner spaces across major cities, bringing our curated audience to venues that want new energy and fresh crowds. All Art House exhibitions are archived digitally here.
🏥 Industry Mixers
Our industry mixers bring together professionals from the same field for curated social events in gallery and museum settings. We host mixers for professionals in law, healthcare, tech, finance, academia, and more across NYC, DC, Chicago, LA, and beyond — events where the shared professional context makes conversation natural from the start. Join here.
💕 Singles Events / Art Date Night
Our Art Date Night events bring together singles for intentional connection in an art-centered setting. We balance the room, set the tone, and use our chemistry matching system to help guests find compatible people before the night even starts. Hosted in galleries, museums, and stylish venues across NYC, DC, SF, Chicago, Houston, LA, and more. Join here.
🌄 Day Trips and Getaways
Our curated day trips and getaways bring the Early Burdz community together beyond the city. Day trips depart from major cities to destinations like Beacon and the Hamptons — a full day of art, nature, and group connection. Weekend getaways offer a longer immersive experience for members who want to travel with interesting people. Expect gallery visits, scenic hikes, group meals, and new friendships. Join here.
