Creating (in) Community

Get involved with Ox-Bow on August 17 from 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. for Creating (in) Community Day. Research shows all sorts of beautiful benefits to making art in community: combating loneliness, building trust and empathy, and supporting health aging. With that in mind, Ox-Bow is excited to launch an annual community making day where our neighbors join in the meadow for a group activity. This year’s event will be led by Longform Mentor, kg gnatowski.

Participants will create a large collective weaving along the lagoon and are encouraged to bring materials from home to contribute. The day will provide opportunities for rich conversations and the kindling of new friendships across generations and experiences. Registration is free but required. Lunch is included for all participants. The final weaving will be on display through the fall, weather permitting.

This program is inspired by the book Project Unlonely by Jeremy Noble. Ox-Bow House will have copies of the book available for purchase.
