The story
Someone brought a stack of mismatched chairs to the empty room. Nobody had a plan for them, so we pushed them into a loose circle and set a long sheet of canvas in the middle. Neighbors wandered in, picked up a brush, and added a colour or a line before sitting down.
By the end of the afternoon the canvas held a garden, a river, and a few shapes no one could name. The chairs were still mismatched. The room, though, had become the kind of place people came back to the next week.
