a reclamation of joy
The
Lime
A culturally curated experience where ambitious, creative people come to hear great music, meet interesting people, get inspired, and connect artistic community.
WHAT IS THE LIME
Music. People.
Real connection.
The Lime is Culture Lime's flagship gathering where live performances, DJ sets, and community conversations come together under one roof. Part concert, part conversation, part cultural gathering, The Lime brings together creatives, entrepreneurs, artists, and community builders for an evening of inspiration, connection, and culture.
LIVE PERFORMANCES
Local and emerging artists set the tone. Every Lime has a live set that moves the room.
DJ SETS
Curated sounds that keep the energy alive from first arrival to last conversation.
COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS
Real conversations about culture, community, and what it means to build something that lasts.
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.

WHY THIS MATTERS
Mental health is a
community issue
Mental health challenges touch every neighborhood in New York City, yet many people still lack access to support, resources, and spaces where they feel seen. The Care Drop was created to provide a meaningful reminder that community care is real, tangible, and available.
