Hi, I'm Lailani
I started The Art Meetup because I was tired of how isolating life can feel while trying to survive creatively, emotionally, and financially in NYC.
What began as a small gathering has grown into a creative community centered around connection, expression, opportunity, and healing through art.
Today I produce events, host experiences, curate opportunities through my Substack newsletter Lailani – The Creative Plug, and create spaces where people can simply exist without needing to prove their worth first.
