Craftivism: Sock Puppets

Grab your old or favorite long lost sock and come repurpose it as a sock puppet! Join Community Artist Missy Arellano in another Craftivism workshop that uses recycled materials to craft sock puppets, which can then be used to tell stories or messages about hopes and dreams. Participants will also be invited to write a short story in Zine and will even have the opportunity to perform in a small handmade theater!

Kiosk Comedy

KiOSK Comedy is a one‑hour, no‑intermission variety chaos for misfits, queer folks, and creative outsiders. Serving up a rotating lineup of stand‑up, musical comedy, drag, clown, storytelling, and whatever else we’re unhinged enough to book – plus a safe, welcoming space to actually be your weird self!

Summer Club Fair

We're excited to host clubs from the area at our summer club fair! If you're interested in getting more involved in the community, meeting new people, or learning something new, the club fair is the perfect place to get to know local organizations. Learn about clubs like Asian American Resource Workshop, Somerville Community Growing Center, Queer Inclusive Climbing Club, Somerville Ciné-Club, Boston Compass Newspaper, and more! Stop by to hear from community organizations, meet new people, and even participate in printing a CultureHouse-themed linocut to bring home! We hope to see you there! At CultureHouse, we improve livability in local communities by transforming underutilized spaces into vibrant social infrastructure. We also like to invite the community into our workspace for events like this one, bringing people together and providing a space for vibrancy and social connection. See you soon!

All are welcome and all necessary supplies will be provided.
