The Jar: 

A Jar Salon comes to Ocean Park, Santa Monica

Friday, Feb 20th

 

The Jar is presented in partnership with Ocean Park Social Club and The Church at Ocean Park—an initiative devoted to building connection through neighborhood stories and gatherings. Set in a communal space, this evening weaves together art, a shared meal, and a guided social mixer designed to open unexpected doors. You'll arrive with one neighbor or friend who doesn’t look, pray, or love like them, and leave with more than anticipated: new relationships, new doors to knock on, and the rare feeling of having truly met your neighbors.  

 

What is it? Cultural Gathering, bringing diverse people together for art, dinner, discussion and dessert!

Would you like to be part of this evening?

 

When: Friday, February 20, 2026 @ 7:00 PM

Arrive by 7:15 PM | Wrap by 9:45 PM

Where: 235 Hill Street, Santa Monica, California 90405  

RSVP: HERE (It is free, donation optional)

 

You're invited to experience The Jar for an evening of art, conversation, and community. Here's a Washington Post feature on The Jar. 

 

The Jar brings people together through cultural gatherings that spark connection across difference, especially with those who don’t look, pray, or love like them.  

I'm inviting you (and your partner) to join us and ask that you bring along one other neighbor with you. Someone you enjoy, someone you’re curious about, or someone you’d love to experience this with.
