Grand Re-Opening 2015 Recap
Thanks so much to everyone who came out to our grand re-opening celebration! After a summer of frenetic fundraising, moving, and reorganizing, we were excited to welcome the community into our new, expansive studio space.
Our neighbors at Banzo were gracious enough to set up their food truck in our shared parking lot during the event. We had a fantastic time pulling Wisconsin-themed prints and tees with all of our visitors.
Forward!
