2020 has inundated us with a torrent of change. A world-wide pandemic has changed millions of lives; a new awareness of systemic racism has inspired calls for change and reform; and an upcoming national election, no matter what the outcome, will bring about even more change. It is for these reasons that AVA Gallery’s quarterly storytelling series, The Mudroom, is embracing the theme of “Change.” The event will be held the evening of Thursday, September 10, 2020, at 7 pm.*
The MudZoom will take place on September 10, 2020 at 7 pm.
*The Mudroom will be held in a way that provides the best and safest experience for our community. Details will be released as we get closer to the performance date. This event is free, but a donation to our Here to There Fund is encouraged to support AVA’s continued programming during this challenging time.
