The ArtRoom Collective First Friday Art Crawl! Come talk with local artists, be inspired by creative work, or buy a local, handcrafted item for yourself or for someone special! The Smiley Cafe will be open for a warm beverage, lunch or a treat, and live music will accompany the evening.

March's featured artist is Emily Lloyd of Violet Mae Upholstery!

Emily specializes in reimagining and reupholstering used couches, chairs, ottomans, cushions, pillows, headboards, and more. On March 3 around 5:30pm, she'll demonstrate reupholstering a vintage footstool with vibrant new fabric. Learn more about Emily's work at https://www.violetmaefurniture.com/
