TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11 | 6-7:30 PM | BUCHANAN ROOM, FLOOR 2

GATHER IN LIGHT, FUEL THE FLAME

A campfire is a place where we gather in warmth—where we lean in to feel safe, listen to build trust, share to spread light, and connect through hope and belonging.

Please join us around our campfire for an open and honest evening with Lisa Marie Ryder, our chief builder.

We’ll share what we heard from our recent community survey and talk openly about how VisArts’ flame is flickering low—and what we can do together to keep it burning bright.

We’ll have snacks, cider, mulled wine, and a few ways to join in to keep things cozy.

This free community event will be held in the Buchanan Room (Floor 2). We’ll keep things cozy and comfortable—seats are provided, but feel free to bring your own blanket or chair.

Be part of what keeps VisArts’ flame burning.
