Hi, Im Corey Gumbs , founder of the Black Podcasters Association and BlkPodNews.com
If you are in the NYC area, I want to personally invite you to my exclusive first in-person event for The Sound of Us:
Creative Field Trip Club #001 - Act Black at Poster House
A curated cultural experience for podcasters, artists, storytellers, designers, and curious creatives.
Join us for an exclusive private tour of Poster House’s acclaimed exhibition, Act Black: Posters from Black American Stage & Screen.
YOUR TICKET INCLUDES:
A private one-hour guided tour
Exclusive access to the Act Black Exhibition
Creative Field Trip Club field kit swag bag
Post-tour community gathering
Because this visit takes place on a day when the museum is closed to the public, attendees will experience the exhibition in an intimate setting with a dedicated museum educator.
Following the tour, we’ll continue the conversation over an informal gathering nearby.
Each attendee will receive a Creative Field Trip Club Field Kit featuring collectible event materials designed exclusively for this experience.
Hosted by The Sound of Us - Corey Gumbs × Dara Hartley Art
🚨 SPACE IS LIMITED - ONLY A FEW TICKETS LEFT!
