Shaw-Roxbury Branch of the Boston Public Library

Artist Daniel Callahan presents a free, interactive workshop around his signature practice of “MassQing"
In this powerful and personal 2-hour workshop, participants will learn about Daniel Callahan’s “MassQing” technique, which uses the human face as a canvas and facepaint as a tool for reflection and transformation. Inspired by global body-marking traditions, artist <a href="https://www.danielcallahan.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Daniel Callahan</a> will guide participants in designing and painting their own “MassQs” to explore their identity, story, and creative self-expression.
Great for all ages, family friendly (children 12 and under must be accompanied by a parent/guardian).
Free; RSVP recommended as space is limited.
MassQing uses hypoallergenic, water-based children’s face paint. It is made for sensitive skin, and is 100% washable. Brushes will be sanitized.
This program is funded by a grant from the Fellowes Athenaeum trust Fund of the Boston Public Library
Accessibility: This program is wheelchair accessible. The Roxbury Public Library is located in Nubian Square and is accessible by public transportation. Free street parking is also available.

VIP packages are $150 for those entering at 9 AM and are filled with a ton of value! Kids accompanying other VIP's can get in to the event for free that are under 13, however, no children may attend the early hour alone. Not only will you get exclusive access to vendor inventory before the general public, each specially designed VIP package will include things such as random booster packs from Paldea Evolved down to Phantasmal Flames, a specialty VIP badge, an exclusive event pin, front line access to TCG actors, show schwag, sponsor provided items, and other specialty prizes not even announced yet. Most VIP bags will hold Pokemon singles with a ceiling of up to $400! VIP packages will be limited to 200 in total and are only made available here through OnTreasure, unless some remain unsold the morning of the event.
Every entry, whether they are VIP or general admission, is always eligible for our excellent door prizes and you will not need to be present to win. Simply fill out your prize ticket as you come into the venue so you can be entered into our drawings that will take place around 3:30 Sunday. We will be featuring items worth more than $2000 in total up for grabs. Those prizes will include single graded cards, booster boxes, hand made rugs, and a Nintendo Switch 2!
The Best Flippin' TCG Show features some of the best vendors from all over the country, focusing on items for collectors at any budget level, from cards to plushies and original artwork. This event will have lots of free kid activities such as character meet and greets and a kid zone with lawn and video games set up, a Pokemon balloon artist <a href="https://jonahstwisters.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jonah's Twisters</a>, and Pokemon stencil tattoos from <a target="_blank" href="https://partyfestini.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">Festini</a>. A $70 cash Pokemon tournament will be run by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/professorthomasf/" rel="nofollow noopener">Professor Thomas </a>over two days.
