Wrapped Stories: Where Lyrics Become Art

Step into an intimate, music-inspired creative experience where sound becomes story and lyrics become art.

Wrapped Stories is not your typical fundraiser. It is a beautifully curated afternoon of culture, creativity, connection, and atmosphere — designed for guests who love music, storytelling, artistic expression, and meaningful experiences.

Set to the tone of Afrobeats meets jazz, hip-hop meets soul, and literary lounge meets art installation, this one-of-a-kind event invites guests to explore the connection between music, memory, lyrics, and visual storytelling.

Throughout the experience, you’ll choose a music-inspired mood, lyric, album, or era that speaks to your current chapter — then turn that inspiration into your own wrapped creative piece through our signature activations.

All while enjoying FERMENTÉ mocktails, styled bites, soulful sounds, and interactive hosted moments in an intimate, editorial-style setting.

A portion of proceeds will benefit the Read, Write, Rise Literacy Foundation.

Choose the artist, album, lyric, or vibe that inspires your creation.

Create a music-inspired wrapped story piece through paper, texture, tags, and artistic styling.

Add the final touch with a lyric, phrase, title, or line that captures your chapter.

Leave a reflection, dedication, or message from your current era.

Enjoy curated FERMENTÉ pours designed to match the mood and soul of the experience.

Indulge in a styled tasting experience of layered bites and textures.

See the room come alive as guest creations become part of a collective visual installation.
