We'll meet at Cafe Ole (147 N 3rd St) at 1:00 pm to grab drinks and refreshments before we begin our stroll. Our first stop will be the Museum for Art in Wood for a tour of their museum and to hear about the latest exhibitions that will be on view. Next, we’ll head to Paradigm Gallery for a talk with the gallery owner and tour of their latest exhibition. In our third and final location, we'll stop by an Artist Talk at Pii Gallery to learn more about their current exhibition.
