Dear Cult,
Sho here, and uhhhh here’s a crazy idea that we might need your help with.
Our SPÄTI Rave went amazing and y’all are asking for more, so for our next art residency in Berlin with
, we’re going to theme it around spätis. Imagine a gallery walk, but instead it’s a walking map of spätis with art.Anyway, I am set on making this happen this summer, and we’re in the process of putting together a killer program for this month long residency. So keep your eyes peeled for the Open Call! Unfortunately, since we are still a rowdy group of creatives, we don’t have funding for this, so if you want to roll up with your contacts to sponsor in any way, hit us up! We want to make this a win win for everyone.
We’re not sure yet how many artists we will accept, but everyone who applies will be invited to our featured artist events and exhibitions hehe.
WE ALSO HAVE FREE CREATIVE BUSINESS COACHING. U will also get free business coaching if u want from an ex Patreon/MoMA employee. You just need to sign up and post on our prototype HERE to be taken more seriously by the business world. PLS SIGN UP IF UR CREATIVE.
we work to get creatives hired, and pull from our own curated database. It’s all free, and apply here to join us in 2 min.

CREATIVE FEATURE
Miss T has been an MVP in our Cult since our first SPÄTI Rave. Originally from Turkey, now based in Berlin and Milan, she rolls up with the best mixes. Check out her SoundCloud or book her for a set HERE.
Miss T in her own words: “I am an idea finder and a copywriter for brands, but there is more to me that I myself am still trying to figure out. I like to play music that incorporates manycultures, make people laugh and be part ofcommunities through collectiveliberation. I write poems to heal, and sometimes read them to strangers onthestage as well. I do some artworks here and there. Book me for DJ gigs, your writing shenanigans and overall a good vibe and curation in your events. More on my ig: @misstdelight”
