YBCA ConVerge presents a communal “stitch and b*tch” session led by embroidery artist Mei-ling Humphrey and her visiting mother, Catherine Wong. From 4:30-6 pm, sit around a giant embroidery hoop with Mei and Catherine, engaging in communal learning, labor, and expression.

In addition, YBCA Artist-in Residence Myra Melford partners with Berkeley’s Jazzschool to present a Jazz Pop-Up Club featuring a cross-section of inter-generational Jazzschool students. The sextet unites middle school, high school and college age players, led by trumpeter and Jazzschool Young Musicians Program director Erik Jekabson. Besides feuring trumpeter Erik Jekabson, the ensemble includes Eric Nakanishi and Quinn Rocklinone on saxophone, Arabelle Schoenberg on piano, Kanoa Mendenhall on bass, and Dillon Vado on drums.
