Good luck running a business when you’re hurting the very...

On the last Friday of the month-Final Friday is the monthly art show for the building. Many of the studios will have snacks for this event. You can talk to the artists. In the warmer months there are food trucks and music. Valet parking. The individual studios are open by making arrangements with the artists between Final Friday showings. There are locally owned restaurants nearby. I take art lessons here. It’s a...
