LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / November 19, 2025 / Re:Vision, a nonprofit initiative dedicated to revitalizing communities through locally driven, resilient solutions, in partnership with metahaiku, invites the Los Angeles community of artists, designers, architects, and creatives to FRIENDSGIVING – an evening of art, reflection, and collaboration marking a new phase for Re:Vision’s work.
Taking place on November 20, 2025, at So-Too in Los Angeles, Friendsgiving will bring together community leaders, artists, entrepreneurs, and innovators to celebrate the region’s creative heritage and harvest season while exploring new opportunities for renewal.
Centered on the theme of “harvest”, the gathering explores not only abundance but also the balance and strain that growth demands – from the health of soil and the resilience of farmers to the strength of the communities themselves. Through interactive installations, shared food, and participatory works, guests will be invited to engage as a collective, sparking dialogue and creativity within LA’s design and art community.
The evening will feature:
-
Culinary experience by Chef Catalina Flores (formerly Head Pastry Chef at Sqirl)
-
Living sculptures and floral installations by Zilah Drahn
-
Sculpture by Jasmine Archie
-
Installation art by Sarah Hein
-
Poetry by Clarke Andros
“Re:Vision is about empowering communities to uncover their own strengths,” said Stacey Frost, founder of Re:Vision and host of the event. “Friendsgiving is a chance to celebrate creativity and connection, while also planting the seeds of ideas that can grow into lasting renewal.”
Friendsgiving also marks the beginning of Re:Vision’s new initiative in North East Pennsylvania, focused on developing a replicable model for small-town revitalization that strengthens local economies, honors cultural heritage, and builds resilience for future generations.
Re:Vision’s mission is to inspire change from the inside out, helping communities design their own pathways to growth. By blending creativity, science, and collaboration, the organization transforms challenges into opportunities – building more resilient systems in food, energy, education, and design.
