Early Burdz is a community-driven events organization that connects people through art experiences. We host museum mixers, gallery hops, and gallery parties across major cities.
We have hosts for some of our bigger events. But we also have hostless events and we make that aspect clear in event communications. Hostless events are important to us, as we’re trying to create third spaces with our mixers. Everyone is in the same boat. No content, no host, just connections. Before the event, we curate the crowd and set up icebreakers to facilitate connections. And we provide support throughout the event in the group chat.
No. Your ticket supports Early Burdz in planning and hosting the event but does not cover museum entry. Some museums offer free admission or pay-what-you-wish pricing—please check the museum’s website for details.
Refunds are available for requests made at least 72 hours before the event. After that, tickets are non-refundable but may be transferred to a future event. Event credits cannot be initiated retroactively.
To attend an Early Burdz event, please visit our Events Calendar and select the event you wish to attend. You can RSVP directly through our calendar. We recommend signing up early as some events have limited capacity.
A VIP ticket includes:
- Guaranteed entry even if standard tickets sell out
- The opportunity to feature a photo and 250-character blurb shared with attendees
- A spotlight on our Instagram Stories
A standard ticket grants access to the event but does not include the additional promotional perks of a VIP ticket.
Note: Neither ticket includes museum admission. Refunds are available for requests made at least 72 hours before the event.
