We'll have local artists here for your shopping pleasure!

Michelle Bailey is a Takoma Park-based artist who will be here with her original paintings, prints, note cards & T-shirts for sale.
Pete Pichaske is a local photographer whose focus on nature photography combines three of his passions: creativity, traveling and hiking. He'll be here with nature/landscape photos, canvas prints, and note cards.
