Join Chelsea Factory Resident Artist Andrea Miller for happy hour drinks, dialogue, and a special performance by Brian “HallowDreamz” Henry, the King of New York Krump.

GALLIM HAPPY HOUR is a free and informal conversation series held over a glass of something delicious. This relaxed platform invites our communities to get closer to artists and luminaries, to discuss a life in the arts. These hour-long conversations explore our evolving field—what can change, how we can grow, and what we can create through collaboration.
