The Idea Lounge
Our 2022 season is, once again, generously hosted by Barber Lee Spirits, 120 Washington Street, in downtown Petaluma. We convene the last Wednesday of each month.
April 27, 2022
ART - Natalie Vinueza, “From Kissing Robin Williams to Opening a Cafe on the Petaluma River: How I stayed true to my artistry in a capitalist society.”
LIFE - Alfie Turnshek, “Bar Space: The role of the bar in community life”
Idea Lounge is a traveling series of unexpected conversational pairings rooted in Petaluma. It may pop up in an old barn, in a bookstore, in a gallery, in a distillery or in any number of other unique spaces interested in the generation of creative capital. A movable feast of thought experiments, Idea Lounge pairs two unlikely speakers musing on unrelated topics, then invites the audience to uncover unexpected connections through questions and continued conversation. One speaker is always from the arts in some form, the other not. The events last one hour, with each speaker presenting for 20 minutes and the audience getting equal time to ferret out the connective threads between two seemingly disparate topics.
Come join us for drinks and mingling at 6:30pm, and enjoy the program from 7:00- 8:00pm.
PAC members: $12. Non-members: $15.
