2nd Thursday Art Night: Made With Love

Fall in love with a unique work of art or find a gift for that special someone as you browse open studios and galleries! Sample sweets at our candy buffet and enjoy live music by guitarist Gregg Hammond. Flowers will be given to the first 200 guests in honor of the upcoming lover’s holiday.

Visit Studio 9 from 6-8pm for the opening of the Love Notes exhibit, featuring handmade valentines by Torpedo Factory artists.

Participate in a community heart sculpture by donating $1 to write your own love note which will be used to fill in the heart sculpture. Proceeds benefit the American Heart Association.
