Battle of the Arts
Last month, Battle of the Arts was a great success, even with all the rain! This month will be the same; rain or shine, we have plenty of room. If you want to support the local arts, and local nonprofits, and their great efforts, come out to Bell Tower Shops on Saturday starting at 5 pm. If you would like to be one of the artists, please go to: www.artsembleunderground.com/battle-of-the-arts. Battle of the Arts is not about Battle, it’s about Artists networking, bringing more art to our community, and building a platform to create change to our community while helping our nonprofits in their great endeavors. FREE to attend!
