Expats Gathering: Celebrating ARCA’s 5th Birthday!

This November 4th, we’re joining forces for a extra-special celebration: Friends of ARCA Community Gathering & 5th Birthday! Hosting an event at ARCA always feels special to us! Long before it became ARCA, this stunning venue inside art'otel was called 5&33 and hosted some of the very first AIC events—where so many unforgettable community memories were born 🧡. This November 4th, we’re joining forces for a extra-special celebration: Friends of ARCA Community Gathering & 5th Birthday! Chef Henrique Sá Pessoa is back in Amsterdam to launch their brand-new winter menu alongside the return of ARCA’s most iconic desserts (available for one week only!). We’ll have a reserved area for the AIC community to mingle, enjoy incredible cocktails by proper bar artists Marco, Matthias, and Mari, order delicious bites, and participate in the annual Friends of ARCA raffle! Around 70% of attendees show up solo, so whether you’re new in town or an AIC regular, you’ll feel right at home! Pro tip: Arrive early—it’s the easiest way to break the ice and start chatting! 😊 (Note: This is a social meetup, not a dating event!)
