Avengers’ Saturday Cafe for the Homeless

Note: You may be removed from the attendance list if you've participated in the previous week's event. This allows for more people to experience this Meetup. Avengers put your costumes on and let’s go and save the world!
Well we can’t save the world (yet), but we aim to try to play a small part in the lives of those experiencing homelessness by making their day a bit better!
Description: Before the event the organizer will post a list in the comment section of the attendees and what they are responsible to bring (food/drink, kitchen supplies, cleaning supplies). We normally ask each attending member to bring approximately $15-20 worth of ingredients/supplies to our event. We will use the items to prepare and serve food/drink at The Meeting Place.
Timeline: We will meet on location at 11:00 am, with lunch served between 12:30-1:00 pm.
Membership Dues: Membership dues are $2.00 for the calendar year. Membership dues go towards paying for food/supplies incurred by no-shows. Membership dues are due at the first meetup of the year that you attend.
No Shows/Late Un-RSVP: We’re relying on members who RSVP to bring key ingredients for recipes! Please try your best to show-up or alternatively change your RSVP early so another member may fill the empty spot.
\*\*\* If you are on the waitlist, keep checking as you may be moved into attendance to replace someone. We will try to message you to confirm your attendance in advance.
Donations will be assigned before the event.

KEVPOP Poster Drop

Something is about to appear in your city. A poster. Handmade. Hung somewhere a stranger might wander past and feel something good for a second. That stranger deserves it. So does your city. Here's the challenge: Make a poster. Draw it, paint it, print it, collage it - whatever feels like you. It can say something. It can say nothing. It just has to be the kind of thing that makes a stranger stop and smile. Need a prompt? Here are a few ideas: 🌥️ **MISSING: One Cloud** — Last seen drifting over your neighborhood around 3pm. Slightly dramatic. Very fluffy. If found, please just look at it for a moment. No reward. That's the reward. 👤 **FREE FRIEND** — Great listener. Occasionally funny. Will show up when you need them. No experience required. First come, first served. Call no one. Just be one. 💌 **DEAR STRANGER** — Today seemed like a good day to tell you: you're doing better than you think. Or make something completely your own. We just ask to make it family-friendly and joyful. **Then:** * Hang it somewhere public * Photograph it in the wild * Post it and tag **@KEVPOP** with **#KEVPOPPosterDrop** *If you want, you can write kevpop.com on the poster.* We're 10,000+ members across the Midwest, South, and Canada. Imagine what 10,000 little moments of joy look like hung around the world at the same time. Document it. Share it. Make it weird. Make it sweet. Make it yours. **This is free. This is for everyone. This is just for fun.** *KEVPOP is a joy brand. We make people smile.*

Grow Your Art Career • Conversation with KEVPOP

You know how to make things. Maybe you've always known. Maybe you figured it out over years of practice, failure, and starting over. Either way — the making part? You've got that. But there's another part. The part that happens after the work is finished. How it finds an audience. How it finds a home. How you keep going long enough to make the next thing and the thing after that. Nobody really teaches that part. I'm KEVPOP. I've taught community education courses and workshops at public and private universities. I've received thousands in grant funding. I've shown work around the country. I've spoken globally from the US to Indonesia. And the thing I kept hearing from artists everywhere, at every stage, in every room? *Nobody told me how any of this actually worked.* So let's talk about it. This is a free, candid conversation for working artists, emerging artists, and anyone who makes things and wonders what a sustainable creative life actually looks like — not in theory, but in practice, right now, in the real world. **We'll cover:** 🎨 How artists are building lasting careers right now — the paths, the models, and the ones most people overlook 📋 Grants, open calls, and residencies — where they live, how to find them, and why most artists never apply even when they qualify 👥 What artist communities actually offer — peer support, accountability, access, and whether the paid ones are worth it 🌍 Public art activations — how showing up in the world builds an audience over time 💬 Your questions — bring them. This is a conversation, not a lecture. I've been in those rooms and I'll tell you what I actually know. **This event is free and open to all 10,000+ members**. It's also the first glimpse of something larger we're building. More on that at the event. Come curious. Come with questions. Come ready to talk about the part nobody talks about. **Reserve your spot today.** *KEVPOP • 10,000+ artists, collectors, and art lovers across North America.*

Kensington Market's Pedestrian Sundays

Hey all, Kensington Market's Pedestrian Sundays are back and it's a great opp for some great photos and exploration of the neighbourhood. If you are unfamiliar, the streets are closed off for people so it's quite an electric atmosphere, This is a free event and open to everyone, even if you just want to meet people. There is no real agenda, usually we just meet as a group and see how the day goes. Hope to see you then! Paul
