NEW TEMPLATE

At the heart of our democracy, and the values that we share in this state and our country, is the ability to learn, listen, and discuss issues of importance to our communities and our world. In an increasingly global society, it is critical that we seek to understand and respect the variety of perspectives. Through high quality programs and partnerships, Humanities Washington advances thoughtful, informed, and engaged communities.

Think & Drink

Think & Drink brings hosted conversations on provocative topics and new ideas to pubs and tasting rooms around the state.

Hosted conversation series takes the humanities out for a nightcap

Think & DrinkLaunched in 2011, our Think & Drink program brings hosted conversations on provocative topics and new ideas to pubs and tasting rooms around the state. The inaugural schedule tackled topics from Prohibition to urban planning, and sparked lively conversation about morality, religion, history and politics from Seattle to Yakima.

Our 2012 schedule includes events in Seattle, Spokane and Yakima. Join us for enjoyable evenings of enlightening conversation and tasty beverages.
