The Philly Discord for Creative Nerds
Creative Nerds is a Philadelphia Discord server for people who make things — artists, musicians, producers, dancers, photographers, filmmakers and designers — that keeps spilling out into real rooms around the city.
Our Philadelphia Story
Creative Nerds started online in 2026 as a place for creative people to share work with others who actually get it. Most of the in-person side happens around Philadelphia, which is why this is the city we build around first.
Expect the Philly underground kind of energy: people who make beats, paint, shoot, dance and design, trading feedback in the server and then meeting up to actually make things together.
How to Meet Creative People in Philadelphia
- Join the Philly Discord server. It's free, and it's where meetups, collabs and shows get planned first.
- Post what you make. Drop your work in the showcase and creative channels — that's how collaborators find you.
- Come to a meetup. Our first Philly IRL meetup has a spot lined up; suggest a date that works for you.
Philadelphia Meetups & Events
Upcoming meetups, shows and the occasional Philly party are posted on the events calendar and announced first in Discord.
Rep Philly on the Merch
Philadelphia is one of the four cities in round one of the Creative Nerds design contest — three Philly designs get printed, sold in the shop, and earn their artists 20% of every sale.
