RAI Holiday Workshop in Lake City

About This Grant

RAI will host the RAI Holiday Work(shop) in Lake City on December 9th from 5-7 p.m. This is a free buy local event at our Lake City makerspace located at 12545 Lake City Way NE. Guests will meet our refugee and immigrant women Artisans during makerspace tours and various crafting workshops that will demonstrate the skills of our Artisans. Capacity is limited to 10 occupants who will sign up in advance for a 30 - 45 minute time slot, but the demonstrations will be recorded and edited for public access and posted on the RAI website and social media. RAI Holiday Work(shop) in Lake City will elevate awareness about reducing garment industry waste, show the public how RAI Artisans divert textile waste from landfills, and demonstrate that RAI is a welcoming and safe workplace for immigrant and refugee women, a place that has become a cultural hub in Lake City. This project will be completed by January 31,2022.
