Your Time, Your Way – Open Interest Night
December 11 @ 5:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Many individuals can benefit from what is often referred to as a “third space”—a place separate from home or work or school where there is no obligation to spend money on food or beverages. So we’re opening our doors to members of our community.
We invite you to drop in and use our space to help you unwind or recharge—with no pressure to engage in structured activities. We have several rooms and spaces available–a quiet lounge, computer desks, hang out sofas–you choose. It’s your time to use your way.
Our space provides flexible seating options, focus tools, and adjustable lighting options as we strive to make our space more welcoming and inclusive to those who wish to spend time in it.
On Thursday, December 11, we’re hosting a special activity during the Your Time, Your Way time. Participants can drop-in between 5:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. to engage in an, “Open Interest Night” and join the fun whether by showcasing your unique interest, or simply by enjoying the company of others. Pizza will be served!
The concept of an, “Open Interest Night” stems from an Open Mic Night. The Open Interest Night will provide a safe and welcoming space where participants can share their interest with peers and express themselves creatively. Some of the interests you can share are:
- Visual art (painting, drawing, etc.)
- Items you may have made (crochet, knitting etc.)
- Music
- Writing (poems, stories, scripts)
- Performances (stand up comedy, monologues)
