You belong here! November's Second Saturday will celebrate our community and the connections we share. Through collaborative movement, art-making activities and storytelling, visitors will explore what makes us a community and the sense of belonging. You can even become part of our ceramics community! Visitors can watch outdoor, traditional Raku-style firing in a Studio School workshop – or, for a small fee, join in on the fun by glazing a piece to fire and take home!
We encourage visitors and families to bring a blanket, wear your masks and enjoy the performances on our North Lawn and throughout the arts campus. Make sure to come hungry because Café Contemporary will offer tasty seasonal treats, drinks and boxed lunches.
