About Sophisticated Flava - Poetry Art Jazz & Culture in Charlotte





Sophisticated Flava is your source for cultural events in the Charlotte area! Other meetup groups just didn't have the vibe that many of us were looking for. Many groups lacked any artistic or cultural content, so we created Sophisticated Flava to meet that need in the Charlotte community! We strive to reach a little deeper in the Charlotte community to find the less known/ underground cultural events. Particularly in our Jazz, Neo-Soul, art, and Spoken Word community! We are also including more events with African American and Latin inspired influences! Some of our events will also include gallery crawls, theater, dance, poetry gatherings, jazz clubs, arts, comedy clubs, salsa and African dance, live music, museum visits, group discussions, and sampling new foods and cultures!



Who should join?

Anyone! Everyone! Those who are looking for new things to try around Columbia. Our group is open to anyone who enjoys art, music, foods, poetry and meeting new people! We are not a bar hopping group nor a high brow group. We are just a collection of laid back people who enjoy a creative vibe! We are looking for people genuinely interested in joining us for social events, genuine conversations, and sampling the creative and artistic side of Columbia!

If you are an artist or musician with and upcoming event that matches our group, feel free to post it in our message board! Just click on messages to your left!


Guidelines

1) We ask that you try to be an active part of the group! Please try to attend at least 1 activitiy every 2 months. It's dissappointing when people don't come out to events

2) We want to invite you to join us on out meetups so please have the courtesy of responding. Please RSVP either 'YES' 'NO' or 'MAYBE' for each event. It helps us know what events you guys like and what events to scrap!

3) We expect that if you RSVP "Yes" to meetup events, you will be in attendance. Emergencies do happen, however, continuous "NO SHOWS" without changing your RSVP prior to an event will result in loss of membership to this group.

4) No marketing or mass advertising allowed. There is no business networking allowed at meetup events or on our message board. We try to maintain a membership made up of those who are interested in developing genuine relationship with other members without the worry of being recruited for different religious groups, pryamid groups, heavy sales (candle parties, make-up parties etc) or social events that are unrelated to our activities.

5) We collect $5 for dues per year. Dues are used to pay meetup fees, and to provide food, cover events, or fee related to the group. Dues information is available to members at any time. Meetup dues are $72 per quarter (I believe) to host a group.
