Our First 22Valerie Community Event: A Summer of Art and Creativity in Cologne
Paul Zajonc
This summer, we took over a park in Cologne with over 100 creative souls for our very first 22Valerie community event—and it was nothing short of a vibe.
Armed with sketchbooks, paints, and wild ideas, we came together to create, chill, and connect with like-minded artists. It didn’t matter if you were an experienced painter or just there for the good energy—everyone found a place to express themselves. The park became our open-air studio, and creativity was in the air.
From sketching and painting to sharing stories and laughs, the event was all about connecting through art. The best part? Seeing how people came together and fed off each other’s creative energy. It was pure, raw, and authentic—just the way we like it at 22Valerie.
This is just the beginning. We’re all about building a community of creators who aren’t afraid to break the mold, and this hangout was the perfect kickoff. Big thanks to everyone who rolled through and made it what it was.
Can’t wait for the next one stay tuned!
