We are thrilled to unveil the collaborative works of artist P. W. Pritchett @p.w.prichett and Thomas Steinborn’s in our exhibition: STUFFED. This show explores the imaginative journey of the two exchanging drawings via snail mail, showcasing the physical creations that emerge from their correspondence. Through experimentation with form, material, and storytelling, the exhibition invites viewers to investigate the playful, unpredictable nature of artistic creation and the unexpected outcomes that arise from shared vision and interaction.
This show kicks off a three month long collaboration with our community. Together, we’ll learn, write, and PLAY through a series of programming from October to December. More details to come - see you opening night!
Opening: Friday, October 4th
Time: 6-8PM

POMBAA - Sealed Auction
FRIEDAcommunity is proud to announce the auction of POMBAA – pink, purple, and red sheep – 2 adults and 3 smaller lambs.
This auction is not only your opportunity to own one of the POMBAA sheep. Your bid also supports FRIEDAcommunity in realizing its mission of (re)connecting generations, bringing together people of all ages and from diverse backgrounds around a program of activities and events focused on art, culture, and food.

For almost two years, young and old visitors, guests, and members with no special skills gathered around our community table, volunteering their time to make hundreds of pom poms from plastic shopping bags which could not otherwise be used following the long overdue ban on plastic bags.
Coco Gang created the fluffy animals from a frame made of wood, wire, felt, and PVC. The sheep may graze on firm ground or are also light enough to be hung from the ceiling, floating like mobiles.
FRIEDAcommunity thanks Coco Gang and all the volunteers who gave their time!
All the proceeds will benefit FRIEDAcommunity.
FRIEDAcommunity excursion: The Harlem Renaissance…
There was no better way to end the day with dinner and a jazz concert at Smoke Jazz Club in Harlem, featuring legendary percussionist Louis Hayes (now in his 80s) and Alto Saxophone virtuoso Vincent Herring as well as Jeremy Pelt, Rick Germanson and Kenny Davis.
