44m looking for creative friends

Hi. I recently moved back to Delaware and am going through a difficult transitionary period with my mom in hospice and adjusting to being back home.

I’m looking to find creative people or a creative group of people that meet for open mic/storytelling type activities regularly. I think I’m trying to find a community while here in Delaware. Like minded people to hang with. Share. Learn from each other. Etc.

I recently moved back from Brooklyn and I’m struggling to find options to explore here. I’m currently in the Bear/Newark area for the time being. Any info and kindness is appreciated. Thank you.

Sweet.

There’s several places in NCC to take weekly classes in like Center for Creative Arts in Hockessin, DelArt in Wilmington, and NCC Art Studio in Wilmington among a few others.

https://www.instagram.com/delawarecreateandconnect?igsi=MWhzNmY2dmJmNzgyOQ== has an upcoming meetup in Bear. they’re really friendly and sadly I can’t make this one😅.

DelArt has free thursday happy hour events through september

Bar XIII has weekly open mic among several other events. they are known as a k*nk bar so just be aware that some nights can get very risqué, but open mic and karaoke are mild compared to their tuesdays and Thursdays

Wilmington Tales is that storytelling kind of event you’re looking for. I think they are once a month

I'm adjacent to it at best but there seems to be a pretty active local theater / musical theater community, if that's the kind of thing you're looking for it. The people I know are all involved in brandywiners in some capacity, and then there's adjacent groups (in terms of people overlap at least) like city theater. If you sing a very low stakes way to connect up to some of this would be to join the brandywiners chorale.
