Materials Needed

  • Large paper/canvas or shared whiteboard
  • Markers or paints

Facilitator Guide

Opening Script:

"Add to the canvas only while chatting with someone you don’t know well. Small strokes, big variety. 10–15 minutes, then gallery walk."

Closing Script:

"What stories emerged in the artwork? Pair visual clusters with the people who created them for follow‑up intros."

Why This Works

A light social constraint encourages mingling while co‑creation lowers social pressure. The artifact becomes a conversation map.

Best For

  • Mixers and fairs
  • Hybrid socials
  • Creative warm‑ups

Important Notes

  • Space the canvas to avoid crowding
  • Keep materials simple and mess‑free
  • Offer a digital board for remote attendees
