Monday works best as a structured culture day. Start with a serious painting workshop in the morning. Add one maker-lab slot for a hands-on payoff.
The afternoon has a city-run circus intervention downtown. Early evening offers a curated film screening with a guided conversation. Night options split between a talk-format cinema club, a small theatre pick, and one headline live show.
