QUEER COFFEE MEETUP

Brick building with painted signs reading "GALLERY," "NEW HOUSE," and "ART SPACE," with windows and blue lights illuminating the signs, in a parking lot during dusk.

Step inside New House Art Space , where the lines blur between creation and connection.

A bit of a haven for the aesthetically inclined and culturally curious, we’re here for the dreamers, the sketchers, the late-night thinkers, and the rule-breakers.

From boundary-pushing exhibitions to coffee fuelled Drink & Draw sessions, New House Lates, and genre-defying Writing Saloons — we’re not just hosting events, we’re pivotal in supporting a culture . Think open studios, rent-a-space moments, and unexpected collisions of art and ideas.

About

A workspace with numerous paintbrushes in containers, a bottle of yellow paint, and a illuminated red spirit level. In the background, a person is painting on a canvas, showing part of a colorful landscape with trees, animals, and houses.

Modern office space with a wooden table, green chairs, a laptop, a potted plant, and large window, with colorful abstract artwork on the white wall.

A person with short red hair, tattoos on their left arm, and wearing a black shirt, is sitting at a wooden table drawing in a sketchbook with a black pen. The table has drawing supplies, a smartphone, and a disposable coffee cup. Other people are visible in the background, also engaged in creative activities in a well-lit room with artwork on the walls.

We’re here to spark something — to nurture the offbeat, celebrate the collective, and amplify creative voices from all corners. Come through. Stay weird. Make art. Be seen.
