A companion piece to "Walking Each Other Home” will be held at WICA on Saturday, November 4, 9:30am-12pm, and can be found HERE.

"Walking Each Other Home" is a dynamic showcase of local artists' takes on aging, from the difficult to the humorous. Illuminating the various issues we face as we go through our individual and collective aging processes, the show spans an emotional arc from comedy to heart-opening drama, with lots of really good music thrown in. You will be moved to laughter and tears by the Rural Characters, Diana Lindsay, Vicki Robin, Judith Adams, Jim Carroll, Stephen Merritt, Julie Glover, Allan Ament, the Open Circle Singers and the singing group WE3.

A benefit for Healing Circles, South Whidbey at Home, and Island Senior Resources

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts would like to begin by acknowledging that we gather on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands.

We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
