About The Event

Join ILA Creative Studio for ArtsGiving Social, an evening bringing together artists, creatives, cultural workers, and friends of the BLACC community for an opportunity to connect, exchange resources, celebrate accomplishments, and explore what’s ahead.


This year’s gathering is designed to bring the BLACC experience to life. Throughout the evening, guests can enjoy light bites and drinks, participate in interactive activities, exchange art supplies, and make meaningful connections with fellow creatives.
