​The Powerful AFF Artists Salon returns!

​Artivism Fights Fascism & You're Invited

​In solidarity with Fall of Freedom and a nationwide wave of creative resistance, join us for an intimate gathering to fuel the flames of our creativity in defiance of rising totalitarianism — and in service of building a future we imagine.

​Art matters. Courage is contagious.

​Together, we’re Powerful AFF.

​Why now?

​Between record-high book bans, plagiarism by LLMs, and ongoing attacks on artists, writers, educators, libraries, and public imagination, one thing is clear: art is powerful.

​We’ll gather to discuss:

• ​Why is art and the written word so dangerous to people in power?

• ​What will it take to dream a safer, freer future into being?

• ​How can we sustain our creative practices and each other?

​What to expect 🧙🔮✨

​As we approach Samhain ("SOW-in") and the dark, feminine half of the year, it’s the perfect time to dip below the surface for reflection and gestation of a future where we can all be free.

​After an opening ritual, we’ll break into groups, taking inspiration from banned books, and write dream spells to guide and anchor us during the months ahead.

​Our goal:

​To come away with inspiration, new connections, and next steps for navigating and shaping this moment together through artistic expression.

​More Details:

​Homemade food and herbal drinks will be served — enough to satisfy, so you can settle in and enjoy yourself.

​$15 at the door (cash or Venmo) to help cover food costs (or as much as you are able to donate).

Space is limited, so please register if you’d like to join. 

I look forward to welcoming you!

​Your host,

​Meredith Clinton
