WHAT DOES ONE DO AT A STICKER CLUB FOR GROWN-ASS ADULTS?

Omg, thank you so much for asking.

We live, we laugh, and we put stickers on shit. We’ll provide abundant stickers, plus fun options for your base, like journals, bookmarks, and postcards. Plus, fun sticker surprises and giveaways every month!

We’re meeting at Divine Barrel, the arts & silliness hub of Charlotte’s brewery scene. Feel free to grab a drink while we’re there, or even join Monday Night Trivia at 7:00 while you work on your sticker project.

FAQs:

CAN MY KID COME?

This is Sticker Club for Grown-Ass Adults, so unless your child is 18 or over, no, they cannot join.

CAN I BRING MY OWN STICKERS?

You’re welcome to BYOS, but if you’re not looking to share with the group, make sure that you protect them with your life. Our sticker events get chaotic in the best way, and we can’t promise your stickers won’t try to join the madness.

CAN I BRING MY OWN THING-TO-STICK-STICKERS-ON?

Absolutely. Please bring something extra weird. We’re so excited to see it.

WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN?

Our sticker collection ain’t cheap, y’all, and we keep it fresh for you, but we also know that everything costs $1 million these days, so we have options for you:

$10 Covers the cost of the materials we bring to Sticker Club
$20 Covers the cost of the materials we bring to Sticker Club and the loving work we put into planning and organizing for Sticker Club events
$30 Covers all of the above, plus helps fund monthly sticker surprises and free ticket giveaways on Instagram

ONE Band with Charlotte is Creative
2025-12-09 18:00 - 22:00 | Divine Barrel Brewing, 3701 North Davidson Street, Charlotte, NC, 28205, United States
Charlotte Is Creative’s new “flash band” experience, ONE Band, has been creating a megaton of creative energy, musical connection, and vibe-a-licious fun out in the community.
The OneBand concept is simple: we post a short setlist of popular songs, and anyone who wants to play those songs can sign up. And we mean ANYONE. Amateur musicians and professional players; newbies and veterans; hacks and savants. Any instrument; any skill level. The only qualifications are a desire to play music with others, and a willingness to learn and perform these songs together on a stage.
After ONE fun rehearsal (hosted by Jambox) and ONE rockin’ performance (hosted by Divine Barrel Brewing), the band disbands. And then we start the process all over again!
As we re-spark musical curiosity in our fellow community members, Charlotte becomes a more creative place – one song at a time. And we’re all about that!
