Assembly is a skill-building ecosystem where we practice various artistic mediums and explore a range of materials and forms. Join us for a day of hands-on Assembly workshops inviting visitors into some of the core practices that have shaped our community. Through writing, breathwork, movement, mapping, and paper-making, participants will engage with the tools, conversations, and artistic approaches that have helped Assembly members navigate the world, tell their stories, build relationships, and envision their futures. Workshops will take place concurrently throughout the day and are free and open to the public.
