We got together for a very special Beers and Peers NYC 2025 in Bushwick!

Our latest ArtCube gathering was at Brooklyn Beer Garden in Bushwick—a spot that perfectly captures our creative, community-driven spirit of art and activism.

Located in the heart of Bushwick, it’s accessible and buzzing with energy—just like ArtCube. Join us to connect, unwind, and celebrate with fellow creatives in a space built for collaboration and good times!

A Very Special BnP!

This Beers & Peers was truly special—it marked our very first event since ArtCube Nation HQ moved, and the energy was off the charts! After weeks of rain, the sun finally came out, making those ice-cold beers taste even better. Despite the L train refusing to cooperate, the community showed up in force, filling the beer garden with old friends and new faces alike. The raffle prizes felt almost fated, landing in the hands of Cubers who seemed destined for them. It was the perfect reminder of the magic that happens when creative people come together—rain or shine, L train or not.

THANK YOU SPONSORS!

We asked the NYC vendors to pitch in on the fun and make it easier for all freelancers to attend and connect.  

We know that going out is a luxury for some freelancers these days, so we lined up sponsors to ensure everyone can attend and make real connections with vendors, fabricators, and each other.

Sponsors made this event possible
