Community Tables | February 26
February 26 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
This is an invitation to enjoy a cozy evening with your neighbors.
Location: Arena Stage
Themes: joy, hygge (a Danish cozy tradition), meeting neighbors, and sharing stories
Guests choose their own adventure for the first hour.
- Contribute a line to a collective poem about love, connection, or belonging with poet Neha Misra
- Weave a bookmark on an individual loom, led by artist Diego Borgsdorf
- Make buttons with inspiration from artist Christina Hernandez
- Design a zine about a place that brings you joy with artist Fid Thompson
- Sip hot chocolate and play the hygge question game
- Enjoy a dance and interactive performance with dancer Claire Alrich and company
- Write a postcard to cheer someone up
- Bring a book to pass along – it can be a favorite or something you just read
Let’s slow down, share a meal, and connect with the Southwest community. We’ll take care of everything, all you have to do is:
- RSVP
- RSVP does not guarantee you a spot, but it helps us estimate attendance.
- Arrive on time, or five minutes early. Remember, once we are full, we are full.
- For any accessibility needs, please contact theartisland.dc@gmail.com at least 2 weeks before the event.
- Optional: Bring a book to share with someone – this will be next to the weaving bookmark table!
This is our tenth year of Community Tables. Curated and produced by The Art Island in partnership with SWBID.
