Dart Club Events
Dart Club hosts events in Columbia to encourage community members to participate in arts engagement and creation. Dart Club primarily promotes these events on their Instagram account.
On November 21, 2024, Dart Club hosted “Danksgiving,” a Thanksgiving style event where past event visitors and other community members joined the club for a night of live music, food, and a discussion about the future of the club.
Visitors were invited to cook and bring food, which meant that every member had brought something that the community was able to share.
Additionally, live jazz music was played by the Dart Club Jazz Quartet. Danksgiving’s quartet consisted of Luca Giordano on trumpet, Arjuna Raghu on drums and piano, Molly Hume on flute, and Hope Schust on bongos.
The event was promoted via Instagram.
