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 audience members who joined the open mic. Limited slots were available for pieces under three minutes.

The gathering was free and potluck-style, with participants bringing food to share. Each month, Amirali Mir contributed a delectable culinary creation as a generous offering to the community table. Beverages were also provided.

Visitor guidelines noted that face masks were optional.
Ruth’s Table gallery and the adjacent green space were wheelchair accessible.
ASL interpretation was available with 72 hours’ notice.

The program was free and open to all, with RSVP encouraged. Donations were welcomed to support Decentered Arts’ mission.

At Decentered Arts, we believed in building resilient community through art in all its forms. To nurture this vision, we produced Decentered Open Mic, Eventracker, Writers Group, Poolside Poets, curated events, and more. Community support helped us keep creating and continue dreaming bigger.
