Drift Exchange: Your Cultural Living Room
WHAT WE DO
Once a month, Scarab's working studio transforms into a temporary gallery and gathering space - part show, part experiment, part social exchange.
We make room for new work, strange ideas, and cross-disciplinary conversation. No white cubes, no gatekeeping. Just people showing up for art and for each other, exploring what happens when artists and fellow wanderers collide in an intimate, flexible space.
