Pixelation.org is a community of pixel artists focused on self-improvement and helping others.
Every year we host an Art Jam at GDC to be creative and socialize with pixel artists and other creative types from around the world. Bring your art gear and join the fun!

We start as GDC is winding down, beginning at around 4pm, and we carry on until our hard stop at 11:30. If you're still around by then, we'd appreciate some help cleaning up.

Natoma is an alley spanning several streets in SOMA, a short walk from Civic Center BART stop. The block you're looking for has a Burger King drive-thru at one end. Ring the doorbell (or knock REALLY LOUDLY) to be let in.

Tickets are available via Eventbrite. While the Art Jam is free, we ask that you donate to help cover the cost of the food and venue if you can.

- Bring your own gear
Feel free to bring your art gear to jam on some art. The space has plenty of outlets and extensions for your laptop, but pencils and paper work great too :)
- Bring your own Beer
If you plan to drink, we ask you bring some beer with you to share.
- Limited Seating
The space comfortably seats around 30, but we wont turn anyone away. If you plan to jam on some art, you might want to show up earlier in the day to ensure you have desk-space. It might get a bit cozy.
- Socialize
If you didn't manage to snag some desk space, no worries! The jam is equal parts art and socializing. Walk around and see what other people are creating and make new friends.
