We have an energetic week ahead of us with many interesting things to see, for both artist and viewer alike.

It's a good week for those who like showing their support to our local galleries and getting something fun in exchange. Fountain House Gallery will be hosting their "Empowered to Create Art Show & Auction" for those looking for something to bring home with them, and those who want to try something tasty while showing that they care should go check out Chinatown Soup's "Chinatown Getdown Benefit & Auction".

For the artists who follow us we have something you may find very useful, Equity Gallery is having a workshop on "How to Prepare for a Studio Visit".

Be sure to check out the site often as new shows are added daily. - Alexandra Schoell, Editor.
