for creatives, by creatives

Hella Artsy was created with one purpose: conversations with creatives, for creatives. What began as a platform to interview artists, designers, and makers across all creative mediums has grown into something bigger—one that now blends storytelling with community events.

Through our ongoing interview series, we continue to spotlight the minds behind the work, offering real conversations that inspire, connect, and empower other creatives. Alongside that, our pop-up events and networking experiences bring the creative community together in person—showcasing local talent, fostering new connections, and celebrating the many forms creativity can take.

Together, we’re building a platform that uplifts creatives and strengthens the community—one story, one event, one connection at a time.
