Regularly we gather at the Festival Center to breathe, laugh, grieve, and dream together. These Rejuvenation Spaces are where we make room for our big feelings in hard times—through honest conversation, creativity, and community.
This round, we’re making political art!

Want to design a protest sign? Bedazzle a t-shirt? String a bracelet? Doodle your vision of justice? Bring your sparks of inspiration—shirts, boards, scraps, anything at all—and we’ll bring the glue guns, beads, and markers.
We’ll also share delicious food prepared by our chef, Lisbeth Melendez Rivera.
The gathering will be facilitated by: AnaYelsi Velasco Sánchez
Come as you are and leave with art in your hands and community at your back.

Lead Facilitator by AnaYelsi Velasco Sanchez.

This offering is part of the collaborative work of the Festival Center Healing Hub.
