Honor Thy Mother
with the Gift of Art!
Aside from "a little peace and quiet," Mom may not be forthcoming with gift ideas for her special day on May 11! If it's up to you to get creative, the SBMA can help: a class, a membership (on sale right now!), or a one-of-a-kind gift from The Dot Shop will convey just how special she is.
The Dot Shop, located just inside our front doors is open Wednesday through Sunday, noon - 5:00 p.m., and this First Friday, until 7:30 p.m. Choose from jewelry, wearable textiles, functional pottery, and a unique selection of paintings and prints to make her day.
