Abstract Art Night

October 15th at 6:00 p.m.
Local Location Available after Registration

Abstract Art Night: A Community Voice Event Hosted by CALEB’s Education Task Force and local PSS chapter Facilitated by local artist & organizer Angelica Acevedo Free & open to the public (ALL AGES WELCOME).

Come spend an evening creating, reflecting, and exploring the power of speaking up and making our voices heard. Through a combination of creative writing and guided art, we’ll reflect on what it means to share our experiences, speak our minds, and use our voices to advocate for the communities we care about.

We’ll explore questions like:
What do you want the people in power to hear? What experiences have shaped what you believe? What does your community need—and what does that look or feel like? What does it mean to show up, speak out, and participate in public comment?

No art or writing experience needed—just bring yourself, your perspective, and your voice.
All materials provided Light refreshments Creative writing activity Guided abstract art activity Community connection and conversation A space to practice putting your voice into action
Your voice matters. Your experiences matter. And the people making decisions should hear from you.

Come create with us, connect with your neighbors, and explore the power of speaking your mind to those in power.
