What Our Members Say
Nimi is a great place to explore my creative mind, helping to unwind from day-to-day corporate life. I’ve also met so many amazing, like-minded people in the community! So it’s a safe and friendly space to be in and makes me come back to explore more galleries and art spaces.
Aidana, Consultant
Nimi is a game-changer for me. It’s shaken up how I approach networking events. As a busy lawyer working in Canary Wharf, I’m always seeking ways to connect authentically with dynamic, ambitious professionals and to discover London’s art and culture. Nimi is the only group I’ve found that delivers on both fronts. Each time I go to a Nimi event, I bond with inspiring people over unique cultural experiences. I get so much value from each Nimi event I attend: connection, inspiration and community.
