Music Lineup

* Vanja Popovic * Oba + Flip * MATEA

Join us for an evening where contemporary art, world-class hospitality, and music come together in a one-of-a-kind cultural experience.

BLKN Collective & Da Punks Fest is a collaboration between two communities dedicated to creativity, connection, and culture.

Founded by Aleksandar Simic (Creative Liaison at Monkey Thief) and Andrea Grujic (Photographer, Creative Director, and Senior Bartender at Sip & Guzzle), BLKN Collective is a bartender-led cultural collective celebrating the rich heritage of the Balkan region and the professionals shaping today’s global hospitality industry. Through exceptional cocktails, pop-up experiences, guest shifts, and creative collaborations, the collective brings together bartenders, artists, musicians, and hospitality leaders to build meaningful connections across New York City and beyond.

Partnering with Da Punks, a contemporary art community founded at Miami Art Basel 2022 and established in New York City in 2023, this event expands the experience beyond the bar. Da Punks will curate a contemporary art exhibition showcasing emerging and established artists while creating a space where art, hospitality, music, and community naturally intersect.

Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy signature cocktails by some of New York City’s most respected Balkan bartenders, immersive art installations, live DJs, networking, and an atmosphere designed to celebrate creativity and meaningful human connection.

Come experience the best of both worlds—where hospitality meets contemporary art in the heart of Williamsburg.
