Celebrate Mardi Gras at the Workhouse Arts Center
The Workhouse is thrilled to kick off its first-ever Mardi Gras celebration, featuring two weeks of family-friendly in-person and virtual events. These activities are planned in response to an unprecedented community engagement with arts offerings at the Workhouse during the pandemic.
This mini-festival is in progress as of February 1st with free online mixology sessions, classes on festive mask making, workshops on decorating cars and floats, and more. On Saturday, February 13, Let the Good Times Roll: Workhouse Mardi Gras will feature safe in-person activities, including socially distant glass bead demonstrations, Taste of Mardi Gras culinary art classes, a Mardi Gras drive-through parade, and contest, and two live drive-in comedy shows by Rahmein and Friends! During this COVID-safe and family-friendly extravaganza, visitors to the Workhouse are invited to explore art galleries and current exhibitions, as well as visit the Lucy Burns museum.
