The Pop-Up Field Trip
Join us for an immersive and interactive art gallery experience at Union Market, where we will transform the Chela Mitchell Art Gallery into our very own play space!
The exhibition features Brooke Fierce’s “Bronner’s Played and Passed Down,” which aims to bring to life the familiar rituals of playing cards, Scrabble, backgammon, and engaging in meaningful conversations.
Mark your calendars for Friday, June 27th, from 6 to 9 PM. The evening will be filled with local artists guiding us in play. Chrys Seawood will lead us in line dancing, while Nia Calhoun will host a variety of fun and interactive group games for the carefree adult.
We can't wait to play, meet, and chat it up!
Best of all, this event is free of charge!

The Family Reunion
We will highlight the history and tradition of black family reunions through classic, black family reunion play, BBQ food, music, reunion apparel, and togetherness. We are reuniting for DC Black Pride to celebrate community, and togetherness at the place where it all started.
