04/05 – Madison

Attend all three sessions or drop into any that call to you (though we encourage moving through the full series for a deeper experience).

(Free street parking or light rail to Pioneer Square—just a couple blocks away)

Cost: Free or pay what you can (to support the teaching artist)
Venmo: @Sophiasoms

This offering is made with care and generosity, created out of a deep love for Khmer social dance and a desire to expand access beyond temples, casinos, and special occasions.

Come ready to move, meet new people, and share space in a circle that holds us all.

Pioneer Square Art Walk: Wasat x 7117 Artist Iftar

This week we are excited to be hosting an art show + iftar with @studio.7117, as part of the First Thursday Pioneer Square Art Walk!

For the artist, the act of creation is a form of seeking. Every stroke of a brush, every line of poetry, and every captured photograph is a reflection of the Divine Beauty (Al-Jamal) found in the world around us.
This evening is dedicated to the Muslim artists of Seattle those who have often searched for a space where their work is not just seen, but truly celebrated.

We invite all attendees, whether you are displaying art or coming to appreciate it to join us!

Please register so we can get a headcount for the iftar meal.
