Your Time, Your Way: Open Interest Night
Thursday, December 17 @ 5:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Back by popular demand! The Your Time, Your Way connection event for December is an Open Interest Night.
The concept of Open Interest Night is inspired by the idea of an Open Mic Night. Attendees can look forward to a welcoming space where participants can share their interests, showcase their creativity, and connect with peers through shared interests.
Participants are invited to bring something they enjoy creating, performing, or exploring. This could include (but isn’t limited to):
- Visual art: painting, drawing, digital art, and other creative projects
- Handmade items: crochet, knitting, crafts, or other creations
- Music: playing an instrument, singing, or sharing musical interests
- Writing: poems, short stories, scripts, or other written works
- Performances: stand-up comedy, monologues, storytelling, or other forms of expression.
Participants can drop in any time between 5:00 and 7:30 p.m. and are invited to take part in the evening in whatever way feels right for you. That means sharing and showcasing your own interests, supporting others, or simply enjoying the creativity of your peers.
And, there will be pizza!
RSVP to attend before December 15, so we can plan the evening’s events accordingly.

- Sit quietly and read – take a book from our Little Free Library
- Bring a personal project or craft to work on, do homework, or study
- Engage in unstructured activities like doing a puzzle, sketching, or journalling
