Free Community Events
Messy Democracy: From Founding Our Nation to Finding Our Way, Old Metropolitan Hall, 5:00-7:00PM – The core ideas and principles of the American experiment have shaped not only our nation, but also the world more broadly. It is an ongoing experiment rather than a finished product, and at times we struggle to live up to the vision of the Founding Fathers as we navigate our imperfect democracy. This facilitated discussion will draw on the expertise and perspectives of three visionary women who are leading the charge to examine and share the lessons and legacies of Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, and James Madison.
Charlottesville Identity and Design Competition, The Jefferson School of African-American Heritage, 6:00-8:00PM – The goal of the BDA Prize and the Charlottesville: Identity & Design ideas competition is to foster community dialogue about design. Entries are to serve as a catalyst for dialogue and discovery in our community, and will be exhibited publicly and discussed in open forums attended or led by members of the Charlottesville community, artists, designers, scholars, and our invited panel of jurors. Voting for the Community Choice Award will take place during the panel discussion at the Jefferson School. More details at bdaprize.bdarchitects.com
