A day to rest, breathe, and enjoy yourself.

Ken's Birthday Gathering
Each year, we gather on Ken’s birthday to spend time together in a way that reflects his spirit—through art, music, conversation, and community.
Held at Hares Hill Brewery, the evening unfolds as an open, creative gathering, with live music and artists working throughout the space.
This is not a formal event, but a living one—a place to connect, create, and continue what he started.
Art to Art: a Creative Well
Every second Tuesday evening beginning May 12, 2026:
A monthly conversation and creative exchange featuring guest artists and open discussion.
For our first gathering we start with the idea of beginning again, returning to the work, finding momentum, and navigating the starts and restarts that shape creative life.
The evening will include:
Speakers: Amber Nichole Staedtler, Anthony Nowack, and Cloe Wind
Guided Discussion and Q&A
A short creative wellness component with Kelsey Hamilton Art
This is a free event.

Community Gatherings
