Join us for a vibrant First Friday experience at The Foundry as we celebrate art, story, and community through The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros.

This special evening brings together local artists, readers, and neighbors for a powerful exploration of home, identity, and belonging. The gallery will feature a wide range of artwork inspired by the book—from visual art and photography to poetry and mixed media—created by artists from across our community.

✨ What to Expect:

- A dynamic art exhibition inspired by The House on Mango Street
Opportunities to meet artists and hear about the stories behind their work

- A city-wide bookmark showcase exploring the question: What does it mean to you to be an American?

- Live voting for top bookmark designs across three age groups
Interactive community activities that invite you to reflect, share, and connect

This event is part of a yearlong initiative designed to bridge literature and the arts, creating meaningful opportunities for our community to come together through shared stories and creative expression.

Whether you’ve read the book or are discovering it for the first time, this evening is for you.

Come be part of a night that celebrates the many voices, experiences, and stories that shape our community.
