ART. OPPORTUNITY. COMMUNITY.
Everything I build comes back to one idea: people need more ways to find each other.Through public arts experiences, creative programming, career resources, and partnerships, I create opportunities for people to connect, participate, and move forward.

WHAT I BUILD
THE ART MEETUP
Art brings people together.
I create the space for it to happen.
The Art Meetup produces accessible creative gatherings across NYC where artists, neighbors, and people looking for community can make something, experience something, and meet each other naturally.
Public art. Workshops. Open mics. Creative activations. Real community.
THE CREATIVE PLUG
Finding opportunity shouldn't feel like a full-time job.
I curate NYC and remote jobs, grants, creative opportunities, career resources, and practical guidance to make finding your next move a little easier.
Creative opportunities for artists to connect, collaborate, and get discovered through curated events, projects, and community-driven platforms

UPCOMING IN NYC
Hi, I'm Lailani
A lot of what I build started because I needed it too.
I know what it feels like to look for opportunity without knowing where to look. I know what it feels like to be surrounded by people and still struggle to find real connection.
So I started building the things I wished existed.
Today, I produce creative experiences across NYC, connect thousands of people with jobs and opportunities, collaborate with artists and organizations, and use my platforms to make resources and community easier to find.
I'm still an artist. I'm still figuring things out. I'm also building something much bigger than myself.
