About this Event
Join HELD for an evening of creativity, connection, and care at Gladys Books and Wine, a Black lesbian bookstore and wine lounge in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. A third space celebrating Black queer femme culture through curated literature, natural wines, and intentional programming. Our Puzzle Night is designed to bring Black women and Femmes together to unwind, spark conversation, and “piece together” new ideas and friendships over puzzles.
We’ll feature beautifully crafted puzzles, light refreshments, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Puzzles will be provided by black owned puzzle companies, Apostrophe Puzzle's and Puzzled by Art. Coloring book pages are provided by SJohnson Designs, a multidisciplinary artis with a focus on design and Illustration based In Brooklyn, NY. There will be an opportunity to learn more about HELD's mission as this gathering blends HELD’s mission of accountability and creativity with a dose of joy and rest.
All ticket sales will be used to provide monetary support for future HELD events.
Hope to see you soon!
