ART 180′s Open Studio Series Begins Tonight

From the website:

ART 180′s Open Studio Series provides an intimate glimpse at the art and ideas of young people in our fall 2009 programs.

Help us celebrate and support young artists from our fall programs as they work to create change in their community. Join us in these three intimate gatherings to see their work, hear their voices, and be inspired. Each program is free and open to the public (children welcome), so please join us and bring a friend or neighbor. Refreshments provided.

The first event is tonight and there is an event Wednesday in Church Hill and Thursday in Manchester.
