"This Memorial Day, we wish you all a safe, happy weekend spent with your friends, family, and neighbors. Without the sacrifices made by military families across this great nation and in our hometown, we would not have the freedom to celebrate all that we enjoy today. We encourage you to take time to reflect and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf.
The Pike Road Arts Center has something for everybody in June! If you're interested in submitting your art for show and sale, consider submitting one or several of your pieces to The Art of Freedom Art Show & Sale! If you're more interested in finding your own artistic style before submitting something for show, you should register for the Contemporary Abstract Florals Workshop with Julia Wallace, hosted on June 19 & 20. If you'd rather appreciate art instead of creating it, visit the Small Works Art Show & Sale! This is the last weekend to visit this art show, so grab a friend and head over to the Pike Road Arts Center to pick up some local affordable art.
