Hi! I've never been to an art party and am nervous about just showing up and not knowing anyone/not knowing what to do: do you have to be a part of VS to go, or is it open to all? Is there anything a nervous first-timer should know besides "show up, don't be a jerk, and have fun"?

You've got the right idea at the end there! It can seem like a lot's going on at first but it really is just as easy and moseying on up and settling in to do whatever feels right for you! Some people love to chat and play around with each other, but it's just as often that people are quietly working and simply enjoying the atmosphere. And regarding that first bit: it may be hosted by [VS], but that's more or less just because I wanted something simple and recognizable to use for the art party tag - it's open to anyone and everyone who'll treat the space and everyone in it with respect! ♥
