I'm excited to be participating in the next uptown art walk next week. I will be at Allen Griffin Pottery throwing pots that night from 5:30 to 8:30. Buffalo Creek Gallery is also planning a big shindig honoring the new artists during the art walk. Make plans now to stop by. The press release below has more information about the plans for the evening. There will be artists at most of those locations demonstrating their talents.
