Capture the Moment: Reserve a Live Poetrait by New Orleans Artist, Cubs The Poet

For our 2025 conference, we’re excited to partner with New Orleans' artist Cubs The Poet, a visionary artist who brings connection and creativity to life with his signature offering: the POETRAIT. 

Cubs creates these stunning, single-line drawings in real time—what’s known as a blind-contour drawing—while engaging in a conversation and connecting with his subject. He chooses colors based on the energy of your exchange, making each piece one-of-a-kind. 

The Experience: 

Connect & Reflect: You’ll sit down with Cubs and dive into a meaningful conversation. He might ask questions or share thoughts to spark deeper reflection. 

Art in Motion: As you chat, Cubs draws—never lifting his pen from the canvas, creating a continuous line that forms your unique portrait. 

Color with Meaning: The colors he adds are chosen in the moment, inspired by your energy and the flow of your conversation.  

Sizes & Pricing: 

18" x 24" canvas – $500 

24" x 36" canvas – $1000 

Cubs will be creating Poetraits live at the Sunday, January 12th cocktail reception, but spots are limited! To secure your Poetrait, email seriousbusiness@neill.com.
