Our Origin

Why We Created
The Lime

The Lime was created to bring people together across industries, backgrounds, and experiences through something we all need more of: genuine connection.

We wanted a place where you could discover a new artist, hear a perspective that challenges you, meet someone doing inspiring work, and leave with a renewed sense of what's possible.

Community

Who
we're for

The Lime is for people who are creating, building, exploring, and looking to connect with others doing the same.

Painters, musicians, photographers, writers — people who make things and need a room that gets it. The Lime is where your work and your community live in the same space.

Organizers, educators, advocates — people who already show up for everyone else. Come and let the room show up for you.

People building something — a business, a career, a vision. The Lime creates the kind of informal connections that formal networking never does.

You don't need a title or a project. You just need to show up. The Lime is for people who are done settling for surface-level.
