You know the drill people. You show up, pour yourself some hot spiced cider, grab an artist-made snack and start collecting gorgeous, affordable prints from the walls while we attempt to keep up with the mass buying frenzy. It's just too much fun. Bring your parents and children and friends. It's basically the warmest spot on Western Avenue aside from our new neighbor Baker Miller. Looking forward to seeing you at our oasis of originality...!
