The Vibrary
Part living room, part listening lounge, and always an invitation to discover something unexpected, The Vibrary welcomes neighbors, artists, readers, listeners, and the simply curious to gather together each week at Painted Bride Project Space. There is no one way to participate here beyond showing up exactly as you are.
UPCOMING SCHEDULE
Wednesday, November 4 | 1–4 PM
90-minute interactive Journey Stick-Making Workshop | Facilitated by Tashia Rayon
Every life is made up of chapters: places we’ve been, people we’ve known, lessons we’ve learned, challenges we’ve moved through, and dreams we’re still carrying.
WALK OF LIFE invites neighbors, makers, memory keepers, and the creatively curious to turn those experiences into something you can see, touch, and take home.
Across cultures and generations, natural materials and handmade objects have been used to preserve memories, mark experiences, share stories, and pass knowledge forward. Inspired by these traditions, participants will create a personal Journey Stick, a visual diary of a life lived and a tangible reminder of the experiences that shape who we are.
Using branches, wooden rods, fabric, twine, wire, recycled materials, found objects, and elements from nature, you’ll create something that represents the moments that matter to you: people, places, transitions, accomplishments, challenges, lessons, dreams, and memories.
MAKE IT YOURS
Bring a small object, piece of fabric, ribbon, natural element, keepsake, or other material that holds meaning for you, or simply come as you are. Materials and plenty of odds and ends will be available on-site.
No art-making experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity, your memories, and a willingness to explore.
Your journey already has a story; give it form.
RSVP here
While everyone is welcome to vibe with us on Wednesdays, only ten participant spaces are available for this special workshop.
GOT BOOKS?
Give them a new place to be discovered.
Got a shelf that could use a little breathing room?
If you have books you’ve read, loved, learned from, or simply know are ready for their next chapter, bring them to THE VIBRARY.
We’re growing our community collection as part of Painted Bride’s Little Free Libraries initiative, giving books a chance to move from one reader to another and keep stories, ideas, and discoveries circulating throughout the community.
And while you’re clearing a little shelf space, check the kitchen cabinet too. We’re collecting mugs to help keep the coffee and tea flowing at THE VIBRARY each Wednesday.
BOOKS + MUGS WELCOME
Bring what you’d like to pass along to Painted Bride Project Space during THE VIBRARY.
Wednesdays | 1–4 PM

DIGIPOP: A Digital Literacy Workshop with Aniya Staley
Folks who are/were curious about Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or Threads, who don’t/didn’t quite know where to begin, came out to listen, learn, and discover “how to” feel more at home with their smartphone, take better pictures, and truly understand what everybody seems to be doing online.
