Gen Blend: A Monthly Intergenerational Writers Potluck and Open Mic

Every First Thursday | 5:30 – 7:30 PM
Ruth's Table, 3160 21st St, San Francisco, CA 94110 | Free

Decentered Arts, together with Ruth's Table, Community Living Campaign, Adobe Books, and Litquake's Elder Project, hosted this inspirational event. It featured writers from the Community Living Campaign Writing Program, the Elder Project workshops, local writers across a wide age range, and community members who joined in. Limited Open Mic time was available for pieces under three minutes.

The gathering was free and potluck-style. Guests brought food to share, beverages were provided, and each month a delectable culinary creation by Amirali Mir was offered as a generous contribution to the potluck.

Visitor guidelines stated that face masks were optional.
Ruth’s Table gallery and the adjacent green space were wheelchair accessible.
ASL interpretation was available upon request with 72-hour notice.

Registration was free and open to all. Donations were welcomed to support the program.

At Decentered Arts, we believed in building resilient community through art of all mediums. To help achieve this, we produced Decentered Open Mic, Eventracker, Writers Group, Poolside Poets, curated events, and more. Community support allowed us to sustain these offerings and dream even bigger.
