JULY COMMUNITY FARMERS MARKET

It's peak summer, which means peak harvest!

If you've got plums, apples, figs or anything else dropping faster than you can use it (or a neighbor's tree that's going unpicked) bring it by

Bring your overflow vegetables, seeds, plants-swap with your neighbors and stock up on summer abundance. Whatever doesn't get claimed goes to a local food bank, so nothing goes to waste either way.
See you at the market! July 12th from 11-1 at The Exchange 617 Marin St in historic downtown Vallejo

Carve your own rubber blocks and layer them up to create a stunning multi-colored print! Using beginner-friendly easy-carve blocks (4x6") and water-based inks, you'll carve at least two blocks and experiment with color and layering to build a print that's uniquely yours.

Whether you're picking up a carving tool for the first time or looking to push your printmaking practice further, this workshop has something for everyone. Come ready to experiment and have fun with it!

We're excited to announce a new monthly event to The Exchange: Lit Nite, presented by Kaleidoscope and facilitated by John and Christine Walker.

Kaleidoscope brings together curious people and thoughtful teachers to explore ideas in ways that feel human, engaging, and alive. Learning that's social, creative and feels like a night out. It's part seminar, part salon, part theatrical experience and entirely engaging.

Every 4th Thursday of the month will have a different theme to explore and April will kick the series off with THE HORROR STORY. We'll be tracing horror's evolution from cautionary tales to contemporary Cosmic Horror and Afrofuturism.

Don't miss out on the maiden voyage, April 23rd from 6-8PM at The Exchange. Let's get back to having great conversations face to face!
