The uncomfortable stuff. The part nobody teaches you. Join us for a candid conversation about money, creative work, and what it takes to sustain a life in the arts. Join a roundtable of working artists as we discuss the questions many artists carry but rarely discuss openly.

A day to rest, breathe, and enjoy yourself.

Inspired by the philosophy of Kenneth M. Grebe

Each year, we gather on Ken’s birthday to spend time together in a way that reflects his spirit—through art, music, conversation, and community.

Held at Hares Hill Brewery, the evening unfolds as an open, creative gathering, with live music and artists working throughout the space.

This is not a formal event, but a living one—a place to connect, create, and continue what he started.

Every second Tuesday evening beginning May 12, 2026:

A monthly conversation and creative exchange featuring guest artists and open discussion.

For our first gathering we start with the idea of beginning again, returning to the work, finding momentum, and navigating the starts and restarts that shape creative life.

The evening will include:

Speakers: Amber Nichole Staedtler, Anthony Nowack, and Cloe Wind

Guided Discussion and Q&A

A short creative wellness component with Kelsey Hamilton Art

This is a free event.

Stop by POPROX Mini Mercantile in St. Peter’s Village, PA, for the dedication of their outdoor, rotating Dueling Banjos Art Gallery to the memory and work of Ken.

Stay for Unplugged at the Snug Cidery, an open mic music extravaganza from 5:30 - 10, sponsored by Ancient Ego.
