Welcome to The Arts & Ideas Holiday Social!


Hosted by Executive Director nico w. okoro and Board Co-Chairs Annie Lin & Risë Nelson

Our annual board and staff holiday social is a moment to celebrate the accomplishments of 2026 and toast to all that 2027 can be. Join us for an intimate evening that brings together the core of our community including our fabulous Board of Directors and our closest circle of supporters. We will enjoy a night of connection, conversation, and shared anticipation for what's ahead.

We'll begin the evening with cocktail hour at Executive Director nico w. okoro's home, where her beautiful gallery space will set the stage for the evening. Next, we'll take a short walk to Rawa Mediterranean Fusion for bites and music from Paul Bryant Hudson. This is meant to be a casual evening of mingling and connection, so come and go as it works for your schedule. Parking is available on the street or in the Edgewood Park Tennis Court Lot across the street, with limited parking spaces behind Rawa.

Come enjoy fantastic food and music, celebrate the impact of our collective work, and step into a new season with energy and purpose. We can't wait to see you there!
