Community Care Night is a monthly event dedicated to connection, support, and education. Taking place the Thursday before First Friday, this series is designed to bring together individuals and organizations to learn, share, and collaborate on key issues affecting our community, creating a space for advocacy work and resource exchange. Each event will have a specific focus in coordination with that month's art exhibition showcasing the overlap between the impact of the arts with advocacy and community resilience, empowering participants to engage deeper with the topic.
