This show is such a delight! It really is a “feel good” community vibed opening reception and the works are of such high caliber and affordable! As a gallery we love this show because we get to meet so many new artists, as an artist- you get to be part of this exciting show and connect with so many new buyers and to the buyers…well….you are just lucky! All this beauty in one room, all affordable and when you purchase art, you are making a huge difference to the artists and our small business. We are so grateful for YOU, so that we can continue to bring this BIG show of small art to the walls year after year. See you at the show! We are so excited!
