The Art of Resilience opening was a huge success! The momentum for Hood Huggers International is strong. The show is up until December 31, and you can stop by the YMI Cultural Center to see it Monday – Thursday between 11 am – 4 pm. DeWayne Barton will be there every Tuesday from noon until 3 pm, or by appointment, to talk about the show. Groups can email info@hoodhuggers.com to schedule a talk with the artist at the gallery. Lunch can be arranged as well.

ABIPA is having a fundraiser at the S&W this Saturday at 6 pm, I encourage you to support that great organization as well!
