In this creative workshop, participants will design and create their own wearable jewelry pieces or custom tote bags inspired by Mario Moore's In Pursuit of Home. This hands-on experience invites participants to explore how identity, memory, and personal style shape the spaces and stories we call our own through wearable art.

Participants will learn basic sewing techniques, alongside gluing and painting, to design accessories that reflect their individuality and lived experiences. Using provided totes, jewelry bases, pins, beads, buttons, fabrics, paints, and a wide range of embellishments, each participant will create a one-of-a-kind piece rooted in self-expression and personal style.

When Rob Reiner and his wife were found brutally murdered late last year, we all collectively mourned the loss of not only great people but, also, the loss of one of America's film legends.

On what would have been his 79th birthday (plus one day), we're proud to host a double-feature of two of his most beloved movies: Stand By Me and When Harry Met Sally.

Stand By Me will begin at 1 p.m. with When Harry Met Sally following after a brief intermission. A single ticket buys you entrance to both movies, but feel free to stay for just the first or come late for just the second.

We hope you can join us to celebrate the life of this great filmmaker and national treasure
