An Interactive Evening Suitable for Introverts @ FREMONT ABBEY

An Interactive Evening Suitable for Introverts: Creative Workshop, Live Music & Poetry

Printing with Legos Workshop led by Brian Lane

Performances by Allison Preisinger, Matney Cook, and Lilac Season

An evening designed to foster curiosity and creativity, "An Interactive Evening Suitable for Introverts" invites guests (introverted, extroverted, or anyone in between) to enjoy a night of music, poetry, and hands-on art—all at their own pace. Hosted by performing songwriter Allison Preisinger, this event at Fremont Abbey on July 11th is the perfect opportunity to explore your creative side in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, whether you prefer to observe or actively participate.

Inspired by the unique collaboration between poetry and music in Preisinger’s latest album release entitled “Standing Steady”, the evening will feature live performances from local artists, including singer-songwriters Allison Preisinger, LilacSeason, and Matney Cook. Attendees can enjoy this diverse array of artistic expression while immersing themselves in their own creative process.

The event will offer a range of interactive experiences, including a typewriter poetry station where you can receive a one-of-a-kind poem written just for you. The highlight of the evening will be the Printing with Legos workshop, led by Brian Lane. Using legos, we will make postcard sized printing plates and run them through sizzix crafting presses. A fun and easy process you will be able to print and take home multiple cards.

All necessary materials for the workshop will be provided, and participants will have the chance to take home their finished works. Additional materials for drawing, coloring, and other artistic activities will also be available throughout the evening, making it easy to find a creative outlet that suits your mood.

This event is designed with introverts in mind, (but is open to all!) offering a low-pressure environment to engage with art, music, and poetry in whatever way feels most comfortable. Whether you wish to simply observe, create at your own pace, or participate in the workshop, the evening promises to inspire curiosity, connection, and creativity. Light snacks, beverages, and merchandise will be available for purchase at the event.
