Open Arts Night

Side Rail is joining forces with Acorn Collective to offer a unique open arts night to the public once a month!

The event will be hosted at Side Rail Collective (in Georgetown) every 2nd Thursday of the month! 

This Month:

FEATURED ARTIST + ART ACTIVITY

Mónica Mendoza-Cawthon (Móni La Artivista) will lead the November Open Arts with a painting workshop centered around tapping into feelings, and exploring how the power of painting and art can bring us more joy. Let go ofthe need for perfection, learn to have fun and look at certain things in another way!

Mónica's creations are fueled by her passion for social and environmental causes, her rich Mexican heritage, and her love of science fiction, horror, and mysticism. Through her art and cultural endeavors, Mónica seeks to inspire others to dream boldly, heal deeply, and act courageously. Her hope is that her work will become both a mirror and a spark - reflecting truth, resilience, and the power to effect change.

FEATURED PERFORMER

Noe Navarro is a Costa Rican electric guitarist and singer-songwriter that mixes Afro-Latin American rhythms with a unique, soulful sound. Her expressive guitar sound and captivating voice define her style, creating a dynamic mix that draws listeners in. Her songs are characterized by electric guitar, vocals, and beatboxing, telling personal stories filled with metaphors and fantasies that invite listeners to look inward and question the hegemonic structures of today's society through tenderness, introspection, and inner dialogue.
