Art Heist Night! Take Home Free Original Art + Make Creative Friends!

Such a good deal, it kinda feels illegal! Come grab some free original artwork (not AI, this is the real deal made by humans) and meet fellow creatives over dinner & drinks! We want to make art less intimidating and help our community grow their own art collections while supporting local artists. We'll be meeting from 6:30-8:30 at Cottonwood on Shepherd drive

Artists are welcome to bring their own art to gift for free if interested! Art will be given on a first come, first serve basis until all pieces are gone.
