The Cultural Conversations gathering on Tuesday, Dec. 2, will feature women sharing their interest in arts and crafts such as painting, photography, fiber arts, hand crafts, performance, cooking and arrangements.
The event will be from 1-3 p.m. at Community Center, 16000 N.E. 10th St. Cultural Conversations is a women’s group that meets approximately every six weeks. The group seeks to build community connections and cultural understanding.
At the gathering, the group will welcome those who create, collect or are inspired by art. There will be table displays at which women will have an opportunity to share how they learned about art and cultural traditions, and why they create or collect. Participants also will enjoy some treats of the season from local ethnic bakeries.
In addition, Lisa Merrill, a professional photographer and artist who regularly participates in Cultural Conversations, will share a slide presentation. Merrill’s photos of ethnic dishes in two volumes of the Cultural Conversations cookbook, “The World in My Kitchen,” capture cultural traditions and artistic expression.
