CONNECTOR Gathering x QM at SNAG x Detroit

CONNECTOR Gathering x Queer Metalsmiths at SNAG Detroit
Sarah Rachel Brown of Perceived Value + Tracey Carswell of Queer Metalsmiths

Queer Metalsmiths and CONNECTOR had a casual community gathering designed to foster meaningful connections beyond conference programming.

CONNECTOR Gatherings create a "third space", an informal social environment where attendees can meet new people, reconnect with familiar faces, and build relationships that extend beyond scheduled events. It took place between the College for Creative Studies reception and SNAG's Gallery & Studio Crawl Night, this gathering served as a welcoming connection point for anyone looking to find gallery crawl companions, expand their network, or simply enjoy conversation in a relaxed setting.

We gathered at the historic reflection pool between the McGregor Memorial Conference Center and the Art Department at Wayne State University, an outdoor gathering space that reflects the spirit of connection and community found in campus quads and commons.

Whether attending SNAG for the first time or reconnecting with longtime colleagues, all were welcome!
