A social club for creative connection

Recess_2026_03_10__0219.jpg

Connection is a creative act...and it should feel that way.

Do you yearn for human connection that feels energizing and creative? Do repetitive happy hours, swiping on apps, and networking events make your social life  feel rote, routine... even a little soul sucking?

​

We built Chapter, a social club for creative connection, for curious, creative community-seekers like you.

 

Because connecting with new people is a creative act, and it should feel that way.

Our Offering

We design monthly social experiences with a high standard of intentionality, care, and creativity.

 

At any given event, you'll find us making altars to our great-great-grandparents, racing chia pets on wheels, playing grown-up versions of our favorite recess games, and perfecting our behind-the-back shuffleboard shot.

What makes Chapter gatherings different?

It's the creative people, places, and playful pillars.

People

Our members come from different decades, countries, and careers, but what they share is more important: unyielding curiosity, thirst for community, and commitment to finding creative connection.

 

So relax – you’re among friends and friendly people.

Places

We find New York City's hidden gems, from nonprofits to museums to book store bars. You'll encounter spaces that spark imagination and connection. A few of our partners include:

  • ANEW

  • Welcome to Chinatown

  • Rubulad

  • The Hole

  • Rabbit Books and Bar

  • Museum of Moving Image

Playful Pillars

Each event is unique, with a consistent four-part structure our members know and love:

A Warm Up

Whether its props or prompts, we give you something to do the moment you show up, so your first conversation starts effortlessly.

A Twist

Our event concepts tend towards familiar, nostalgic themes...but there's always a fun, fresh plot twist.

A Mirror

We follow every activity with a few questions about how it felt and what it stirred up. A moment's reflection can create deeper connections.

A Ritual

We do not go quietly into that good night. Every gathering ends with a shared ritual that brings closure and a little whiff of the sacred.
