Join artist JaVori Warren for an “Intergenerational Community Workshop on Love” on Thursday, January 26th, 2023 from 6 to 7:30PM.
This discussion based event will offer a gathering space to define what personal and community love looks like in the new year. We encourage all ages to attend and reflect on self-love, love of others, and the healing power of art. While this safe space is open to anyone, the event will highlight and center the experiences and voices of Black women.
No advance registration is required. Drop-ins welcome.
