A community social gathering featuring vinyl and board games at the Lydia Art Salon, with a concurrent art exhibition.
Lydia Art Salon is hosting a vinyl and board game night this Friday, August 14, from 6 PM to 10 PM. It's a low-key evening that combines two things that usually go together: records spinning and board games on the tables. The whole thing is free, so you can drop in for an hour or hang out for the full four.
There's a bit more to the night than just the games. The salon is currently showing an exhibition it describes as "somewhat of a riddle," and the event is framed around that—a community art exhibition you can walk through while you play. It's not a formal gallery opening, just a night where the art stays on the walls while the room fills up with people.
That's part of how the salon operates. They describe their mission as fostering community building within a creative space surrounded by artwork, and they keep the room active with a steady stream of social gatherings. This one fits right in with the others they program around their walls—movie nights, slow art days, and receptions. The vinyl and games are just the latest thing they're building a night around.
