Piece By Piece: The Puzzle Mixer @ Ace Hotel

Join HELD for a vibrant evening of connection, play, and music at Ace Hotel Brooklyn, one of the borough’s most thoughtfully designed spaces.

Traditionally, HELD Puzzle Night is an intimate gathering created for Black women and femmes to unwind, spark conversation, and quite literally piece together new ideas and friendships. For this special edition, we’re opening the experience to anyone who wants to join in the joy of slowing down, connecting, and being present.

Guests will enjoy beautifully crafted puzzles alongside Ace Hotel’s food and bar offerings, set within a warm, welcoming atmosphere. As the evening unfolds, the energy shifts from thoughtful play to movement and release, with dance-ready sounds curated by DJ DAYI.

This gathering reflects HELD’s ongoing mission to center accountability, creativity, and community—while honoring the joy that emerges when people come together with intention.
