We had an AMAZING turnout for the 3rd Annual “Inspire Your Heart with Art” opening reception. At least 70 people showed up (we lost track in all the hoopla) and filled the shop with good conversation, laughter, and, of course, a strong appreciation for our local artists.

We have so many people to thank for making this event such a success. First, we want to thank everyone who showed up! We love filling our space with people who love art and the artists who create it. We also want to give Social Grazer a shout out, who catered the event. The wraps were delicious and the charcuterie board was so thoughtfully selected. We highly recommend them for anyone looking for a caterer!

Finally, most of all, we want to thank the 42 artists who submitted a piece for this show. We are so lucky to have a thriving, local art community and we are so thankful that we get to display their lovely work on our walls during the month of February. We will be posting all the artwork available for sale on our social media during the month of February. If you see a piece you like, make sure to send us a message. We can ship, take payments over the phone, etc–we provide lots of options to make sure you can bring that perfect piece home!
