The Chapter House in May
We’re rounding up the month of May at The Chapter House! This month, we…
Welcomed Aza Piñon Robbins!
Wazzaaaap.
On April 24, 2021 at 4:43 AM, the newest member of The Chapter House came into the world! This month, we officially welcomed Aza Piñon Robbins to the TCH community! Aza (AKA Piñon) was born to TCH founder and executive director Emma Robbins. We sent all our love and congratulations to parents Emma and (big) Aza, as well as Piñon’s extended family.
Hosted a film screening with artists from our exhibition!

With all the amazing written works in our exhibition, we knew we had to hold a poetry night. Hosted by Tyler Mitchell and featuring readers from both the exhibition and an open call, “but when you come from water” Poetry Night was a supportive, relaxed affair.
WHAT’S COMING UP?

An arts and crafts night!

Another arts and crafts hour is coming! In our last session, you all brought your own projects and we talked about culture, community and the intersectional issues that affect folks here in the United States and Canada. Keep your eyes peeled for that in the next few weeks!
Opening a physical space!
We're still working towards our goal of opening a brick and mortar this fall. We need $50,000 in donations to set up shop and keep the lights on for a full year. Every donation gets us a step closer to our goal.
If you'd can, make a tax-exempt donation today!
