Connection requires trust, balance, and a willingness to shift: sometimes we lift someone up, and sometimes we need to let ourselves be lifted by others.

We’re inviting you to the 2026-27 mentor and staff show to join us being vulnerable, goofing off, and, as always, celebrating each other with an evening of snacks, art, and live performances.

When: Friday, November 13 @ 4 PM
Where: New Urban Arts
