EVENT DESCRIPTION Hello Digital Dabblers new and longstanding, It’s that special time of year for our second annual Holiday Art Exchange!! Feel free to drop-by anytime in this 3hr window in our private meeting space for a Saturday Social! Here we will be revealing who our “secret santa” was and offer that person your piece. ALL EXPERIENCE LEVELS ARE ENCOURAGED TO JOIN and participate! Join our Discord Chat: Link to join Discord HOW IT WORKS! FIRST, make sure to join our Discord server. Next, checkout our pinned holiday art exchange thread going over details of the art exchange. Next, put your preferences for the type of art you hope to receive (you can request a style, medium, even include a photo if you want someone to try and draw/paint you!) Once RSVP’s are closed and we have tagged all participants Daniel will DM you with a link to reveal who your “secret santa” is. DON’T share this with anyone. Next, return to the thread and see what your secret santa put down for their preferences on art You have a max work time of ~8hrs to complete a piece before the start of the event on December 21st, 2024. NOTE, if your art is purely digital please drop your piece in the chat and tag the person you got with @personyougot. Can’t wait to see the results! We will be meeting in the Dabblers main space in-person for an optional potluck but no pressure to bring anything. If you are unable to complete your piece (for any reason), please kindly message the person you got with an apology. For folks joining virtually we will be streaming in the Create and Chat voice channel on Discord. Hope to see you there! RULES Don’t make someone feel bad if you don’t like the piece they gave you. Please be respectful of the time/energy and personal style that someone chose to use. Going along with rule #1 is be respectful to your peers. The point of this event is to make something for someone else and try your best. Have fun! HOW TO FIND US Make your way to the entrance (in-between My Fathers Place and Slow Bar) and search for DIGITAL DABBLE on the door buzzer. We will be upstairs (follow the sign) PLEASE CALL FOR ASSISTANCE IF YOU NEED TO USE THE ELEVATOR. FAQ Does my art have to be Digital? Nope! You can make whatever you want (but try to make something that your secret Santa asked for). What happens if I don’t complete my piece in-time? Please let the person know and offer a sincere apology. Life happens. What happens if my secret Santa did not complete a piece for me? Please be understanding of other people’s circumstances and try not to take it personally. CODE OF CONDUCT (Please read before RSVP) Expectations for Classroom Participation: It is expected that participants will maintain a positive attitude and a willingness to learn, be challenged, and communicate their needs to the host(s). It is OK to leave class for small breaks but we cannot hold-up the class for a student who is absent for more than 5-10 mins. at a time. Support Your Peers: At Digital Dabblers events it is impossible to offer a "one-size-fits-all," experience (but we do our best!). Some folks may join with more experience than others. If you are familiar with a topic, and notice a fellow classmate struggling, offer to help! If you are struggling with any of the material please speak up and let a host or classmate know. Because we cater to beginners and intermediate artists, it is essential that be build a supportive environment for folks at all levels to succeed. Persistent Negativity: When students are persistently negative this drags the mood and experience down for all attendees. As an organization and organizers we are not perfect! And many things are outside our control (parking can fill-up on weekends, students join with a wide skill range, and some may present cognitive and physical disabilities). We are receptive to all feedback, and offer accommodations to the best of our ability, but are a very small organization with no full-time paid staff and rely 100% on volunteers to carry out our services. While we are proud to say we have the help of industry professionals, and offer in-depth instruction, we charge $30/mo. and attendees should not expect this is a University or Accredited institution with a vast array of resources charging $1000+ for their classes. Expectations for Arriving On-time: If an event is not listed as "drop-in," it is expected that participants not arrive more than 15-20 minutes late to an event. In some cases we may not be able to permit entry past this point. Always RSVP before attending an event: Please RSVP before every Digital Dabblers. Individuals who do not RSVP on the website and agree to our code-of-conduct will not be permitted to a
