Artist Meetups in Sydney, Melbourne & Brisbane
You don't have to create alone.
Gather is where Australian artists meet in real life — to share the wins, the doubts, and everything in between. No panels, no pitches, no stiff networking. Just a relaxed room of artists talking about the real stuff. Whether you're just starting out or selling your hundredth piece, this is your people.

Most of this journey happens behind closed doors.
You pour your heart into your work, wonder if it's good enough, and quietly ask yourself if anyone else feels the way you do.
They do. You just haven't met them yet.
What Gather Actually Is
No panels. No pitches. No stiff networking.
Just a relaxed room of artists — over coffee, wine, or whatever the city calls for — talking about the real stuff: what you're making, what scares you, what's working.
Some are casual catch-ups. Some are bigger sessions on the business side of art — galleries, marketing, growth. All of it built around one idea:
Community beats competition.

About Ros
Hi, I'm Ros Gervay — artist, creative business coach, and host of Paint Rest Repeat, a podcast for artists building a sustainable creative practice.
After years of coaching, teaching, and talking with artists across the globe, the one thing I hear over and over is how much we crave genuine connection with people who just get it.
Gather was born from that. It's my little antidote to the isolation, and my belief that community always beats competition. When artists come together — really together, in the same room — something special happens.
I'd love for you to be part of it.
