ArtRabbit and I Like Networking bring together founders of London’s most impactful creative communities.
On Thursday, 26th March 2026, ArtRabbit and I Like Networking will host an evening of short “show and tell” presentations exploring how some of London’s most impactful grassroots arts & creative communities were built.
How We Built It: Community in the Arts brings together founders who have created thriving networks supporting artists, cultural workers and creative professionals across the UK and beyond.
Rather than a traditional panel discussion, each speaker will offer a concise and candid presentation unpacking how their community began, why they built it, what nearly failed along the way, and what it takes to sustain momentum.
The evening will feature: Ade Sanusi, founder of Art Meets Culture, Isabel Sachs, founder of I Like Networking & Meg Molloy, founder of Working Arts Club
The event will open with an introduction by Vivi Kallinikou (ArtRabbit)
The talks will be followed by an open Q&A and informal drinks, allowing attendees to connect across disciplines. A business card bowl will also offer guests a light-hearted way to meet someone new.
The event is designed for community builders, founders, curators, producers, creative entrepreneurs and arts professionals interested in building networks, platforms and collaborative ecosystems.
Expect honest insights and practical knowledge-sharing in a room of people actively shaping the cultural landscape in the UK and beyond.
How We Built It: Community in the Arts, 26th March 2026, 7PM–8.30PM (doors open 6.30PM)
