Description
The MAHJ ATX is hosting a night market on Saturday, May 23rd and we need volunteers!
Welcome to an interactive experiment! Night market, mahjong parlor, local art gallery, community partners, live DJ sets and more all to explore: “What impact do creative experiences in shared spaces have on social connection and mental and social well-being at the community level?”
This question is explored through a series of live, in-person mahjong gatherings and community-based events hosted by the MAHJ.
If you are interested in discussing volunteering or sponsorship opportunities, please reach out to us at hello@themahjatx.com
We, literally, cannot do this without you. These events are brought to you by a small but experienced team, working with limited resources and a big dream. 100% of contributions go directly toward supporting artists, collaborators, and event production.
