When we invited the community to share their art in the bookstore, we thought we would meet a few talented artists. We found out that there is an enormously creative community of artists in our community and we want to celebrate it! This is your chance to meet one of the artists that have their art in the bookstore. You can ask questions about their art and art process. You will see some unfinished pieces and works in progress.
The artists currently showing and selling their art in the bookstore are:
