About us
This group is focused on experiencing and discussing various forms of art, including music, film, theater, dance, poetry, literature, painting, and sculpture. Possible events may include concerts, plays, museums, art exhibits, watching a film, etc. The idea is that group events would involve experiencing some sort of art and then discussing the aesthetic, emotional, artistic expressive, and social implications. Many of the events will involve attending some event and experiencing the artistic performance or presentation and then discussing it as a group, perhaps at the same location or perhaps we might go somewhere else and have have drinks. The name “Dilettantes” carries both serious and playful connotations. We welcome dabblers in the arts and also those who are quite knowledgeable and can draw from their refined insights to help explain works to other members. We expect that there will also be opportunities for members to exhibit their own artistic creations to the group.

Welcome to the ENLIGHTENMENT Trivia Night, in which you play a thematic game each time, and also play for a great cause.
Because spring has sprung, the flowers are blooming, and it’s warm enough for us to plant summer fruits and veggies, this month’s trivia questions will be all about gardening. Come find out how we’ll incorporate “green thumbs” and “dirty hoes” into questions on geography, history, science, sports and pop culture.
The great cause you’ll be supporting is Three Sisters Gardens, a nonprofit in West Sacramento that inspires and empowers youth through gardening, teaching them how to grow, harvest and distribute organic vegetables in their local area. Three Sisters also manages four gardens in West Sac (with a tree nursery in Sacramento coming soon) and its seasonal Community Supported Agriculture program, which gives paying members a weekly box of fresh, organic vegetables, is about to start up again.
The price to play is $10, with all proceeds going to Three Sisters Gardens.
Garden-focused prizes go to the 1st and 2nd place winners.
Teams of up to 6 people. And don’t worry about coming solo — we’ll pair you with other people to make up a great team.
We'll provide some drinks and snacks, but please feel free to BYO.

Hi, it’s Vanessa, your ENLIGHTENMENT host.
April is National Poetry Month, so we’re turning the salon into a one-night-only underground poetry cafe. No berets required or bongo drums required. Just a love of poetry and no fear of reading it aloud,
The Mission: Bring one or a couple of poems you really love. It can be a classic, a song lyric, something you found on Instagram, or even something you wrote. Read your pick and tell us why it sticks with you.
Afterwards, we’ll try our hand at some "Blackout Poetry" using old newspapers, magazines and Sharpies.
Tickets are $5 to cover salon costs. Light refreshments provided; BYOB encouraged.
