recurring gatherings
We’re always exploring new ways to gather and make Living Room part of your routine.
Here’s what’s taking shape:
-
For two Saturdays during DC Design Week, we’re inviting local artists we admire to join us for a drop-in session at Living Room, where they'll work on their own projects and share the space with you.
-
Join us every Friday in September and October for low-pressure co-working built around community, led by Sarah Stern.
-
Join us once a month for a baby-friendly creative session for caregivers. Bring your baby, make art, work on a project, or simply enjoy being around other caregivers.
