Rising Tide | "Prototypes for Play"

707 Astor Street, Bellingham, Washington, 98225, United States

Please volunteer for a free ticket to the next Rising Tide Speaker Series with Paper Whale on May 8th! The event itself is from 7-10:30pm, though volunteer positions range from 2pm-12pm. Your contribution means everything to us- thank you for your participation. Event Description below: The experimental reboot of the Rising Tide Speaker Series returns on May 8 with Christian Zenga and Benny Zenga—two brothers whose work in kinetic sculpture explores how experimentation, community, and hands-on experience can transform both space and perspective. Before the keynote, settle in with live music from the Buddy Mac Band, a surprise co-host, and our Small Wins segment—inspiring stories from community members turning creative ideas into real-world impact. Stick around after the presentation as Heather Haugland of the Honky Tonk Social Club gets you moving with a quick, introductory dance lesson in 2-step and swing—then put it into practice during an extended set with the Buddy Mac Band. No partner or experience needed.
