Knit-In with The Left-Brained Artist
2026-06-11 18:00 - 20:00
You asked and we’re bringing it back!
That’s right, another Knit In 🧶 🤩🍻
We’re planning on this being a monthly meet up at the taproom. Stay tuned for announcement of future dates.
Pam @theleftbrainedartist and @divinebarrelclt present the “Knit In” it’s like a sit in, but with yarn and other fibers! 😁
Stop by anytime between 6-8pm on June 11th, bring any fiber project you’re working on (or any portable craft, all are welcome!) and have a delicious beverage. You can craft quietly, chat, or discuss your work. We will be hanging on the stage by the @chromatic.roots panels.
Not into beer? Not a problem! Divine Barrel has so many other tasty options both with and without alcohol.
Don’t have a fiber project? Also, not a problem! Pam will have some materials on hand and can get you started on a project.
Art friends, this would be a perfect artist date, just saying.

What is Sketchbook Swap?

Sketchbook Swap is a monthly drawing meetup made for anyone—whether you draw every day or haven't touched a pencil in years. We keep it low-key, fun, and social. No pressure, just interesting prompts and new friends.

How it works:

Bring your own sketchbook and your favorite drawing tools.

We start with a 10-minute drawing prompt.

When time's up, we swap sketchbooks and draw in someone else's.

Repeat with new prompts every 10 minutes—for about 2 hours.

There’s never been a DBB charity cookout like this one! Finally, July 4th is a SATURDAY – and we can throw the ultimate neighborhood blowout for a great cause this year with the NODAHOOD IN(TER)DEPENDENCE DAY BLOCK PARTY! Kicking off at noon sharp, we’re doubling up the grills with our usual spread of hot dogs, hamburgers, and your favorite grilled cheese on the block (plus sides n stuff, of course). Then at 1pm, we’re hosting FOUR awesome local bands. Not enough for you? Well, good news – the dunk tank is BACK from last year, and you can take your shot at dunking some of the DBB crew (and maybe a special guest or two). It’s all for a great cause, too – as always, our holiday charity cookouts are supporting our friends at the Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina @shmetrolina doing the good work in providing food services for 24 counties in the Carolinas. We’ve raised over $4k for Second Harvest so far, let’s see if we can’t get that total another notch higher this year!
Love your community, love your Nodahood this 4th of July!
