Pick a Puzzle and Race Against the Clock at Puzzical Chairs
On Sunday, May 18, attend a family-friendly event complete with activities, music and pie at the 195 District Park in Providence.
It’s like musical chairs but with puzzles! Puzzical Chairs is a live music event featuring puzzles and local Middle Eastern blues innovators Skyjelly.
Puzlkind Jigsaw Puzzles artists Rani MacNeal and Sarah Jane Lapp are bringing the puzzle-loving community together through music at two events in Providence and New Bedford, Massachusetts, thanks to grant funding from 195 District Park and Massachusetts Cultural Council/New Bedford Cultural Council.
How it works: All participants are initially matched with a partner to work with on assembling a twenty-four-piece puzzle while a song is playing. Once the song changes, they must find a new partner and puzzle.
The Providence production, “Puzzical Chairs & Pie with Live Music,” will take place May 18 from 1-3 p.m. in District Park with Scialo’s County Bakery giving away free pocket pies to the first 100 puzzlers. This event is all-inclusive, encouraging all members of both communities to partake in puzzles, music, local art, food and connection.
New Bedford’s production, “Puzzical Chairs & Pops with Live Music” will take place on July 10 from 5-7 p.m. at The Drawing Room, offering vegan Sorbae popsicles to the first 100 puzzlers.
“The Puzzical Chairs and Pie experience at Nantasket Beach was a social gift,” one attendee said after a past event. “The kids got home and went straight to work on your puzzles and after dinner went straight to work on the extra pie you shared.”
Register for both events here.
