Common Threads' Grand Finale
As our last Common Threads event, Vox culture will be hosting the “Interwoven Mixer” on 11/3 (55 Bar and Restaurant). The mixer will be an interactive experience: a bazaar featuring music, dance, ethnic cuisines, a fashion show, and colorful crafts from the refugees’ represented countries. This multi-layered, multi-faceted event reflects the many stories and journeys of each and every one of these amazing women. The various components we have lined up also serve to enhance our appreciation of our city’s diverse population.
We are aiming to provide a stage where the artisans can promote their handmade arts and crafts, expanding their opportunities of making a living to better integrate their lives into the community. Several refugee communities of the Community Cloth with informal experience in selling their goods will be represented at the event. Show your support not only for their skill-sets, but also for their strength to endure the pressures of starting new.
Guests will have the opportunity to purchase one-of-a-kind products at the bazaar such as woven bags, knitted scarves, embroidered linens, baby clothing, and rugs-- all handcrafted by the artisans.
Come learn more about the cultural heritage behind the creative ware that the refugee artisans design. Join Vox Culture in celebrating the contributions of our refugee community!
ENTRY FEE: There will be an entry fee of $15.00. Guests will receive a sampler platter and signature cocktail. All proceeds will go towards the refugee artisans and their families.
