The Black Houston Creatives Network invites you to an evening where creatives and business leaders connect, collaborate, and collectively elevate. We call this The Black Label Experience.

Hosted at WONDERLIKEWANDER, the evening blends the ease of a backyard BBQ, the artistic expression of an art gallery, and the intentional networking opportunities of a corporate event.

THE VIBE

While designed as a premium networking event, the evening also offers an atmosphere well-suited for date night, gentlemen’s link up, ladies’ night, or a solo night out. Expect an upbeat soundscape, spaces full of vibrant energy, and beautifully designed spaces that invite you to immerse yourself into the experience.

THE STYLE GUIDE

This is an elevated gathering. Guests are encouraged to dress casually chic and according to the attire requirements below.

When choosing your attire for the evening, consider Googling:

"Boho chic attire"
"Summer cocktail party attire"
"Garden party attire"

We are asking all guests to wear solid colors of earth tones, pastels, or gem tones. Please avoid patterns. If all else fails, wear all white.

Unfortunately, we are unable to admit guests wearing jeans, ball caps, or hair scarves. Fashion-forward attire such as professional sneakers, fedoras, beach hats, cowboy hats, and other elevated style pieces are welcome. We appreciate your help in maintaining the atmosphere and experience we have curated for all attendees.

Kindly reference the look book in the photo gallery.

Step into the experience. Connect. Collaborate. Elevate.
