ACM Beyond The Exhibition presents a Growing Community Series together with Martha's Table
About this Event

​​​​​​​Join ACM’s Growing Community at Martha’s Table Healthy Happy Hour, a free weekly community gathering that brings neighbors together for connection and wellness. Stop by the Commons to enjoy refreshing healthy mocktails, nutritious snacks, music, gardening activities, and hands-on wellness activities for all ages.

Discover the best plants for tough spaces—windowsills, desktops, balconies, and front stoops. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore low-maintenance, high-impact plants that thrive with minimal care, whether you have a large outdoor space or none at all.

Participants will create a combination planter featuring 2–3 complementary plants, thoughtfully paired for texture and visual interest, including both flowering and non-flowering varieties. Along the way, we’ll cover the essentials for plant success; proper light exposure, watering techniques, placement, and why plants sometimes don’t thrive, so you can grow with confidence at home.


About ACM Beyond The Exhibition

Keeping engagement alive while our gallery transforms.

While we undergo an exciting exhibition installation from January through May of 2026, our work continues beyond the walls. Join us for a vibrant series based on History, Wellness and Culture hosted at partner locations throughout Ward 8, January through March 2026.

These free programs carry forward ACM’s program scope which fosters creativity, learning, and connection. Whether exploring history, or engaging in dialogue, you’ll discover meaningful opportunities to learn, share, and grow with neighbors of all ages.

ACM Beyond the Exhibition ensures that even while our gallery is closed, the spirit of community and engagement remains open to all.
