Building community through food
Libraries and exhibitions alike serve as repositories of collective memory. By bringing them together, Arlington County Library and Mason Exhibitions Arlington affirm the kitchen as a site of learning, preservation, and connection.
Join us for Bring Your Own Supper Club, hosted at Mason Exhibitions Arlington. This will be a gathering where each person brings their own dinner for themself–whether from your fridge or picked up on your way to the gallery. Feel free to bring extra to share. The start time is flexible, so please feel free to come when you can. We will provide plenty of seating as well as some fun conversation starters to help you get to know your neighbors and make friends. Levita Mondie, otherwise known as Vita the Vegan Chef, will provide a short group cooking experience with the library’s portable kitchen.
While you eat, you can also enjoy the current exhibition on display, “The Prescription is HOME: A Manifesto,” a community-sourced, immersive visual arts exhibition by Melani N. Douglass, on view January 23–April 18, 2026.
REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED (https://arlingtonva.libcal.com/event/16232100): First-come, first-served seating. By registering, you will receive event and weather updates.
