A huge thank you goes out to our friends at Erie Arts and Culture for their support and encouragement in creating this program. We couldn’t have done it without them!
This month, we’re thrilled to launch our very first event with the incredibly talented André Jones—creator, art director, fashion designer, and the visionary behind our current second-floor gallery exhibition, MOOD Board.
