Join us for our monthly Art and Craft Night, featuring one of our artists-in-residence, Fateme Mokhles!
Fateme will be hosting a Visual Storytelling workshop with us. We’ll start with a short talk about narrative art and how images can be used to tell layered stories. Together, we’ll play a word game using three bowls: one for subjects, one for locations, and one for verbs. After the demonstration, everyone will be invited to illustrate their own stories using any materials they like—watercolor, pastels, markers, and more. Please arrive before 5 PM for the demo!
ARTogether will provide all necessary materials, along with our usual art supplies, if you’d prefer to play in a different medium. Feel free to bring your own creative project that you’d like to work on while in community.
Gather In: Art and Craft Community Nights are casual, drop-in, creative hangouts that take place every 2nd Wednesday from 4 – 7 PM. Bring your friends to a future event!
Featured Artist: Fateme Mokhles
Fateme Mokhles is an Iranian interdisciplinary artist and storyteller. Her work moves between illustration, performance, and writing, always led by the urge to tell layered and playful stories. She illustrated Rostam’s Picture-Day Pusteen by Ryan Bani Tahmaseb (Charlesbridge, 2024), a Bank Street College Best Children’s Book of the Year, and her next book, My America Blooms by Nazanin Ford, will be published by Beaming Books in Fall 2026.
Whether through a picture book, a graphic novel, or a one-woman performance, Fateme invites her audiences to laugh, reflect, and see the world from unexpected angles.
Fateme is one of 8 artists-in-residence participating in our 2025 Mentorship Hub. Learn more about the program here.
