If you plan to host events on Magma, either publicly or privately in an Artspace, scheduled Art Jams are opne of the best ways to do that. You can set your Jam for a later date and time, and those who are interested will get a notification when it starts.

Follow the normal flow to create a new Art Jam.
Go to Art Jams and hit Start new Art Jam;
