As artists continue to be shadowbanned, arts programs defunded, and fascism rises, choosing to create — to tell our stories and imagine futures rooted in collective care — is a necessary act of liberation. Now, more than ever, we need your voice, your stories, and your art — especially in the face of ongoing injustice.
Join us for a 2-hour gathering of collective reflection. We’ll hear from artists, writers, and storytellers, and dream, journal, and create together through journaling and tarot.
This space is especially for those who don’t see themselves as “artists” or aren’t sure where to begin. Together, we’ll tap into our own creative courage in community.
