Join us for Creating (in) Community Day! Research shows all sorts of beautiful benefits to making art in community: combating loneliness, building trust and empathy, and supporting healthy aging. With that in mind, we are excited to launch an annual community making day where we invite our neighbors to join us on the meadow for a group activity. This year’s event will be led by artist and our Longform Mentor, kg gnatowski.
Participants will create a large collective weaving along the lagoon and are encouraged to bring materials from home to contribute. The day will provide opportunities for rich conversations and the kindling of new friendships across generations and experiences.
**Registration is free but required. This event will run from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., but participants are welcome to come and go throughout the day as your schedules permit. Lunch is included for all participants.
This program is inspired by the book Project Unlonely by Jeremy Noble. Ox-Bow House will have copies of the book available for purchase.
