About this Event
Kick off your weekend with creativity and savings at WAM! Join us for an evening of needlework and conversation—and enjoy an amazing 20% off everything in the Museum Store during the event!
◆ 6 – 6:30 PM Tour of the exhibition
◆ 6:30 – 8 pm Stitch Circle
Stop by WAM for a relaxing evening of community and creativity in the galleries, featuring two drop-in happenings—a guided tour of Safer Waters: Picturing Black Recreation at Midcentury and hand-quilting inspired by the exhibition.
Bring your WIP (work in progress) or borrow supplies from us to handsew alongside other makers. Museum Teacher Christince Vumai will host this friendly circle of conversation and fiber arts; if you are unfamiliar with needlework, Christince will be on hand to introduce you to hand-quilting.
Christince Vumai has been teaching yoga for over 10 years, with a primary focus on guiding students through the practice of Ashtanga Yoga. Drawing from her extensive training with world-renowned teachers, Christince has developed a teaching style that goes beyond physical postures—she creates a mindful space for self-discovery and personal growth.
With a passion for helping individuals uncover their true selves, Christince’s approach is both playful and grounded. She believes in nurturing her students’ confidence and transforming their inner dialogue, allowing them to experience deep emotional and physical transformation.
About WAM Nights: We’re open late on Fridays until 9 pm. Start your weekend with after-hours access to the galleries, shopping in the Museum Store, and a stop at EAT for flatbreads, salads, coffee, and specialty drinks. WAM Nights feature programs with artists, musicians, and performers, offering a dynamic way to experience the museum. The building comes to life with local creatives during WAM Nights—an energizing, creative start to your weekend.
