Organization

In honor of the recent Juneteenth holiday we’re partnering with Arts Publisher Lucky Jefferson to celebrate their poetry collection and how family gatherings, art, and food can bring people together. Guests are invited to bring their favorite family picnic recipes to share and we will be collecting favorite recipes and family gathering memories from the community to create a book after the program.

Lucky Jefferson is an arts publisher committed to intersectionality and social change. To learn more about their projects, visit their website here.
