Summer 2026

COMMUNITY

This season explores care, inclusion, and connection in community. The ways we create spaces where people feel supported, welcomed, and connected to one another, through artists, creative work, community stories, and shared experiences, we are considering what helps build resilient communities, and how creativity can bring people together.

JULY

TOPIC: CARE & COMMUNITY

What does it mean to care for ourselves, one another, and the places we share? This month explores the ways care strengthens communities, creates support systems, and encourages us to consider how we show up for the people and places around us.

AUGUST

TOPIC: INCLUSION & COMMUNITY

What makes a community feel welcoming? This month considers the ways we create spaces where people can participate, contribute, and feel valued. We’ll explore representation, accessibility, belonging, and the different perspectives that make communities more complete.

SEPTEMBER

TOPIC: CONNECTION & COMMUNITY

What connects us to one another, to place, and to a sense of purpose? This month explores the relationships and shared experiences that bring people together, and the ways creativity can encourage empathy, understanding, and connection.
