Get Game Day Ready at Kendra Scott
Sat, Sep 26 at 10am · Austin
game day starts on South Congress 🤘
ROW + Kendra Scott are getting together at the Kendra Scott Flagship for a morning of drinks, shopping + getting game day ready.
Kendra Scott is launching their officially licensed Game Day collection, Texas has its first away game of the season, and that felt like a pretty good excuse to make a whole morning out of it.
Come hang with us from 10AM–12PM to check out the new collection, grab a couple drinks, find something for your game day look, browse a few local pop-ups + spend the morning with the ROW community.
And we really mean hang out. This isn’t a rush-in, shop-and-leave kind of thing. Come take your time, bring the people you’re watching the game with, meet some new ones, try things on, accessorize each other + generally make getting ready part of game day itself.
YOUR TICKET INCLUDES:
💎 $25 to spend at Kendra Scott
🥂 2 drink tickets with alcoholic + NA options
✨ local pop-ups + game day extras throughout the morning
🛍️ special event shopping discounts
Plus, guests who spend $75+ will be able to customize a clear game day bag to take home — conveniently stadium-ready for the rest of the season.
Kickoff is at 11, and we’ll be right on South Congress. Head somewhere nearby to catch the game whenever you’re ready, or stick around with us through noon. We’ll be hanging out.

$32 EARLY BIRD — limited quantity
$35 GENERAL ADMISSION

Inner Pages Writing Club
Sun, Oct 4 at 10am · Austin
Welcome to Inner Pages.
We are a Sunday salon-style writing club for seekers, thinkers and the perpetually curious.
If you find yourself drawn to Jung, Steiner, Gurdjieff, The Course of Miracles, The Partnership Way, NVC, transpersonal psychology, Eastern Esoterica and the like, you'll feel right at home! And if you have no idea what half those things are but they piqued your interest, you'll fit right in too.
Each gathering begins with a brief exploration of a monthly topic; something to consider, question or take inward.
From there, we'll move into a quiet contemplative writing session before breaking into small groups to share what surfaced. Each group will then send an envoy forward to offer something from their groups share.
Nothing to prepare for and nothing you need to know! Please bring a notebook and favorite writing utensil! If the weather is agreeable, we will be outside.
Barrett's offers delicious coffee & tea products and Octavio's next door has breakfast tacos so plan to come a bit early to get your order in!

"suspended belief" opening reception
Sat at 6pm · Austin
Can't make it? Save the date for the closing reception + artist talk Sat, Sept. 26, 6-9 pm. https://partiful.com/e/0h4YoJxfbjhaNGz2BgA2?c=eehk3dlz
Free and open to the public!
Rewon's second solo exhibition, "suspended belief," brings together paintings, drawings, poetry, and multimedia sculptures that reflect on her experience of leaving the evangelical Christian faith she was raised in.
Organized into four chapters—Genesis, Exodus, Lamentations, and Revelation—the exhibition traces the arc of the artist’s religious deconstruction, from inherited belief to questioning, grieving, and rebuilding identity.
By holding nostalgia alongside critical inquiry, "suspended belief" explores what is gained and what is lost when we question the narratives we inherit.
Original works, art prints, poetry zines, and t-shirts will be available for purchase.
