We're doing a mini event to draw the lucky winners of our tombola! The festive season is in full swing, and we’re celebrating with a burst of holiday cheer at the RAID Gallery & Café. Join us on **Monday, December 22, from 12 PM** until late, as we draw the lucky winners of our **Christmas Tombola**. Will you be the one to unwrap a RAID Book Bundle stacked with incredible indie comics? Or perhaps you’ll take home our coveted Coffee Card — the gift that keeps you warm all winter long. But that’s not all. To make this holiday afternoon extra special, all participants will enjoy: • Fresh tiramisu cups (made in-house) • Hot apple cider • Freshly baked calzoni Expect a warm, community-focused gathering with good food, good company, and a touch of suspense as we reveal who the Fates have chosen this year.  And while you're here enjoying the holiday atmosphere with us, take a moment to explore our current exhibition by our CEO extraordinaire and creative director Ramón Pérez: ***GLIMMERS***! *Glimmers* is an intimate collection of pen-and-ink illustrations by award-winning artist Ramón Pérez, celebrating the quiet, luminous moments that make up a life. Through a series of elegantly rendered feminine vignettes — reading on a sun-splashed beach, enjoying a cup of up of tea on a winter day, or simply enjoying a glass of wine — Pérez distills the beauty found in pause, presence, and personal ritual. Executed with his signature line work and a sensitivity to gesture and mood, these drawings capture not grand narratives but the subtle sparks of everyday existence — the fleeting, tender instants that reveal who we are when the world falls away. *Glimmers* invites viewers to slow down, look closer, and find resonance in the small, soft, universal rhythms of being.  We’re looking forward to spending a cozy afternoon together: drawing names, sharing good food, and giving you a first look at *GLIMMERS*. Whether you’re here for the raffle, the art, or just the company, we hope you’ll linger, explore, and enjoy a moment of calm in the middle of the holiday rush. Consider this our way of ending the year with warmth, creativity, and a little bit of magic

**Calling all queer crochet enthusiasts;** I am a visual artist located in Columbus that is searching for people who may want to gather while also participating in creating a piece of artwork. My goal is to spend time enjoying one another’s company while making a work of art that will be displayed within our community. I plan to teach people to crochet (if unfamiliar) while also inviting current fiber artists to join us for some much-needed social interaction. There are no expectations from those who attend, materials will be included, and any amount of participation is welcome! If you have a favorite crochet hook or current project you are welcome to bring that along too! The primary goal is to foster a safe space for our community to chat, create and be. For further information please email [landerknits@outlook.com.](http://landerknits@outlook.com.) \*This will be our first meeting, bring friends and make new ones. Come as you are and make along side other like-minded folks.

**In January we will be making vision boards with magazine collage supplies, stickers, paper, and more! All supplies are provided, seats are limited! Come As you are, when you can; hope to see you there!**
