There'll be plenty of creative people to have a chat with NEXT Thursday 18th April in the Royal Star Arcade from 7.30pm, as the MAG Mega Meet Up takes over the space!

As a small grassroots group we've already helped creatives in our town make connections for new and exciting projects, here's what Matt Stridgen said about MAG:

"Through MAG I was asked to be on the photography crew for this year's Maidstone Fringe Festival and photographed some 30 acts across 15 venues over 5 days. I’d recommend anyone who has an interest in the arts, music and performance to join MAG, see who you can connect with and build a relationship that can lead to a creative collaboration."

Why not come along if you're looking to grow your creative interests?! We want this meet up on the 18th to be the biggest yet, with the most epic Maidstone creatives under one roof and we need your help to make it happen 🙂 Teamwork makes the dream work!

After a year of successful events, join us next Thursday 18th April for our biggest creative networker yet!
A new venue for MAG - The beautiful and historic Royal Star Arcade, Maidstone. Starting at 7.30pm and wrapping up at 10.30pm.

We'll be transforming the former health food shop into a small living room style performance space showcasing local music, poetry, film screenings and improv.

Meanwhile the essential networking continues in the main covered central space, to a backdrop of performance art and dance by way of floor and aerial hoop. There'll be plenty of creative people to have a chat with. We've already seen some exciting collaborations come from our networkers, one of which will be performing live on Thursday, here's what Junior Moore said about MAG:

"I had taken a long break from working and when I started back I felt extremely anxious and knew very few current musicians. I attended the MAG Mash Up and got to meet and play with the most wonderful bass player. We got talking and we liked each other's style. We’ve since played many gigs together and written new songs. This couldn't have happened without MAG, it's a warm and friendly, creative environment that has been great for networking and making art."

Why not come along if you're looking to grow your creative interests?! We want this meet up on the 18th to be the biggest yet, with the most epic Maidstone creatives under one roof and we need your help to make it happen 🙂 Come for us, come for you, come for Maidstone!
