Creative Lunch Club

Creative Lunch Club

Creative Lunch Club is a global community that brings creatives together for lunch.

Whether you are a graphic designer, a photographer, an artist, or a filmmaker, the Creative Lunch Club gives you the chance to regularly meet other creatives in your city for lunch.

I've met so many wonderful people this year trough Creative Lunch Club. It's been a great way to meet people in different industries and has been way more personal and fun than networking events.

Thanks for running such a great community! I'm so glad I took a chance and tried this for the first time, and I can't wait for the next month to roll around. Excited to see this network grow!

I joined CLC a couple of months ago and have met some pretty awesome creative peeps. Every month you get paired a couple creatives from your city to plan a lunch with to talk shop. It’s a great way to expand your network - extremely great value IMO.
