Upcoming Events
Sprout Social
An inclusive artist mixer and co-creation night at Americano Cafe.
Sprout Social: A Night of Creation and Connection, Presented by Shagara LLC x Haus of Expression
Sprout Social is not your typical artist mixer.
It’s an interactive creative experience where New York City’s artists, musicians, poets, designers, photographers, and visionaries come together to connect, collaborate, and create in real time.
Throughout the night, guests will move freely through immersive Creation Stations: hands-on spaces designed to spark collaboration, conversation, and artistic expression.
Creation Stations Include:
Musician’s Corner, instruments to collaborate, freestyle, write, or vibe with fellow musicians and vocalists.
Stereotype Station, an immersive merch experience hosted by Dave Nudleman.
Writers' Table, a place to create poems, fiction, non-fiction, and shared pieces with other creatives.
Visual Arts Canvas, contribute to a live collaborative art piece throughout the night.
Photography Station, capture portraits and moments with fellow visual storytellers. Note: Cameras will not be provided.
D3signer Dr3ams Beat Station, experiment with sounds, beats, and production in a live creative environment.
This is a space to meet people, exchange energy, and leave having actually made something together.
At the end of the evening, we’ll gather to share the art, ideas, sounds, and moments created throughout the night.
Connect. Create. Share.
Produced by Shagara LLC and Haus of Expression in collaboration with Stereotype, DJ D3signer Dr3ams, Focus Photography, and Community Arts Commission Inc.
$15 admission includes one free drink.

Sibling Social
Sibling Social: A Mixer For I/DD Family Members at Sugar Mouse NYC
Founded by Adi Rajan, Produced by Shagara LLC
Join us for an evening of music, drinks, and the kind of connection that happens when everyone in the room shares something real.
If you have a sibling or family member with an intellectual or developmental disability, this night is for you.
Sibling Social is an after-work mixer: good music, great people, real conversation, designed specifically for the siblings and family members who rarely get a room of their own. No agenda, no programming, no pressure. Just a chance to be in a space with people who get it.
DJ Mac Rascal will be keeping the vibes up from start to finish.
