The Cookout: Joy as a Catalyst for Connection

This Juneteenth, hold space for communal joy while embracing new lighthearted methods for navigating stress, creative blocks, mental health, and more. Join us for The Cookout: Joy as a Catalyst for Connection, which brings local Black practitioners and performers to the hillside for a night of art-making, wellness workshops, and music. Prioritize your happiness and mental well-being and connect with a community of BIPOC folx on a journey from surviving to thriving.

Enjoy curated picnic snacks and libations from Cardamom, available for purchase on the hillside. Menus available upon request.

Gallery admission is free on Thursday nights, 5–9 pm. Save time and reserve your gallery admission tickets online.


Free Thursday Nights are sponsored by Principal Foundation.
