We will gather around the arts to find solace in community and bring light to these dark times by embracing the beauty of togetherness as spring begins. This is a family event and will feature arts & crafts, activities for children, music, dance, and food. This cultural event is held in solidarity with the people of Iran, who are facing a brutal crackdown, oppression, and loss of human life on a massive scale.
