Coffee & Culture

Since the Coronavirus prevented St. John's Storytelling from planning an in-person festival, they put together a podcast as a way to celebrate storytelling in the midst of catastrophe. Join Mav Adecer and Dave Paddon as they share stories of Home Out Of It, inspired by The Decameron, a set of stories from the 1300s that wove individual narratives of people fleeing The Plague.

Limited seats available. To register, please contact Visitor Services at 757-8090. 

Restrictions due to COVID 19 will be in place for everyone’s safety. Masks Required.

Events & Programs

2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Reimagining the classic bedtime story, Matthew-Robin Nye explores how spaces of imagination can transcend categories like child and adult, inviting reflection on how we learn, feel, and connect to artwork across generations.

Through this work, he asks what it means to build environments that are open, attentive, and alive to shared experience—places where visitors can simply be, and where curiosity and presence unfold at their own rhythm.

This is a free program but a ticket is required. Please reserve your free ticket online or call 709-757-8090.

2:30 pm - 3:00 pm
