Itadakimasu! amwa and SLT are throwing an art potluck for all artists and arts instigators who love Little Tokyo! Bring a dish and/or artwork to share, or just show up and have dinner with new and old friends. Be a part of our inclusive arts community and the 135-year old legacy of arts and culture in our historic Japantown!

The kick-off for ART4FSN, 15 months of free community art programs as a part of our fight to Save First Street North!

Please bring:

  • a dish or drink with recipe and ingredients lists
  • an artwork of any medium to share

    No one will be turned away for lack of art or food.

Show-and-tell:
Optional, informal show-and-tell of your artwork (5 minutes per person). The show-and-tell and potluck event are open to all, but we give priority to artists of color, and LGBTQ and non-binary artists.
