On the List

While last Saturday was about simply relaxing with our facials at Toccare Spa, this Saturday we’re planning to do some serious art gallery hopping before our afternoon pedicures. The Shain Gallery had an art opening last night with new work from Christy Kinard & EMYO, the Anne Neilson Gallery has a solo exhibition for artist William McLure, and Lark & Key has their first exhibition in their new East Bvld space, Rabbit, Rabbit.

So keep an eye on my Insta-Stories for a preview before I post about all about it here on The Avid Pen!
