People's Pop-Up

Airbnb meets Eventbrite for DIY and craft workshops

About

People’s Pop-Up is an online marketplace where people connect to attend, teach or host DIY and craft workshops. Our mission is to re-imagine arts education in a way that supports teaching artists, strengthens communities, and makes creative learning a part of everyday life. We’re here to answer one question: How might we bring arts education into every neighborhood across the United States? Based in Los Angeles, our mission-driven start-up helps artists and businesses work together to solve this problem. Through pop-up workshops, we connect teaching artists who need temporary classroom space with businesses who want to engage with their community. Our online marketplace and ticketing service enables artists to promote their own workshops and sell tickets to People's Pop-Up's growing audience of creative, lifelong learners. I like to think that we're picking up where Etsy left off, building community on and offline through exchanges rooted in arts education.
