Welcome to FRIEDAcommunity!
FRIEDAcommunity fosters genuine connections between people of all generations and diverse backgrounds through the arts, culture, food, and shared experiences.
Our mission of (re)connecting generations is intentional, rarely literal, always creative, and at times challenging – an approach that members of FRIEDAcommunity appreciate. Rather than asking, “What’s in it for me?”, becoming a FRIEDAcommunity member requires a different mindset. It is less about ME and more about US. How can WE all benefit, grow and learn from each other?
Before you sign up to become a member of FRIEDAcommunity, ask yourself, “Why? Why is FRIEDAcommunity a good fit for me?”
When you become a member of FRIEDAcommunity, you express your commitment to support our mission and our focus on art and culture. Your annual membership dues and additional donations support installations, exhibits, openings, talks, and workshops by diverse artists who receive 100% from the sale of their work showcased at FRIEDA. Our curated program of activities also includes theme-related panel discussions, films, community suppers, as well as excursions and member events. Yet, FRIEDAcommunity is inclusive, with most events open to non-members at affordable prices.
FRIEDAcommunity offers a safe, entertaining, and creative space where you will meet interesting people, make new friends, have fun experiences, and create memories… But know that your contribution has a positive impact beyond 320 Walnut.
YOU, as a member, help spread the word to everyone who enters…
Each person who comes into the space experiences facets of FRIEDAcommunity.
Thanks to partnerships and collaborations that we are developing with other non-profits, FRIEDAcommunity, through the work of its volunteers, is bringing art and creative workshops to less fortunate communities.
Everything we do, with your financial support and the valuable time you volunteer, helps to build stronger multi-generational bonds, while also nurturing and spreading values of inclusivity, empathy, mutual respect, curiosity, and open-mindedness. These are “FRIEDAcommunity’s Shared Values.”
Thank you for taking the time to read this introduction to FRIEDAcommunity. If you agree with our mission and shared values, we look forward to welcoming you!
