Stop and shop at the Gallery Hop! (Friday March 19)











A Bowling Green Gallery Hop will take place this Friday, March 19.

Who: Artists and Friends of Artists, everyone who loves to look at art.


Where: All around Bowling Green - at shops, people's studios, etc.

What: The 3rd Annual Gallery Hop! This is an event where people go from studio to studio checking out new artist's work, having snacks, chatting, and buying things from artists.

When: 5:00 - 8:00 (times may vary a bit for different locations)

How: Very easily visit lots and lots of artists AND see their studios! It's a fun event. This is the first Gallery Hop. There will be more offered this year too.

I will be at the Pots Place during the Gallery Hop this year, but hope to also visit other artists' studios too. See you there!
