This Weekend: Three East Coast Events {NYC, DC & NC}
There are three events happening, each near and dear to my heart. Unfortunately I can only make my own. If I could time travel, that would be another story. I would definitely hop in on each.
1] NYC – Flux Factory Auction at Hungarian Cultural Center in Soho
“Nostalgia for the Sea II” by Lauren Wilcox
Lauren Wilcox has donated an amazing piece to the auction. If you’re in the NYC area on Friday evening Dec 5, and have some time and cash to burn, stop by the Hungarian Cultural Center in Soho for some wine, food and a little dose of cultchah. $30 cover charge. Silent auction from 7 to 9. All proceeds go the good folks at Flux Factory to help them find a gallery space.
2} DC – F Street Arts & the Downtown Artist Coalition – Open House Dec 5 & 6
This week marked my first work day in my new studio space at F Street Arts as part of the Downtown Artist Coalition located at 923 F Street NW, Room 202. This weekend we are hosting two openings.
* First Fridays – Caos on F Street – Dec 5th 5-8 pm
* Downtown Artists Coalition – Artists Studios & Galleries Open House Dec 6 12-5 pm
Come by to see my new space, check out a few of my pieces, and meet my flat mate, Stuart.
Several of the other studios in the building will be open, as well. Plus make time to check out the Holiday Market, which is also happening on F Street just a block over in front of The National Portrait Gallery. We are also located right above the Cowgirl Creamery, a definite must see if you are a foodie. (And, this is a great opportunity to do a little handmade Christmas shopping.)

3} NC – In Every Room – Re-Opening Celebration Dec 5 & 6
In Every Room, a gift boutique of old, new, and eclectic pieces located in Elkin, North Carolina, is definitely worth the drive. We visited last Saturday afternoon. This favorite shop has expanded with a new location at 126 West Main Street (beside Royall’s Soda Shop) and new merchandise. The shop now features clothing from Even a Sparrow a Boutique (Juicy Couture, Nu Collective, Bailey 44, Zooey and Diabless), gifts and accessories from The Vintage Home, and Jewelry from Sassy Gems.
Join the Re-Opening Celebration Friday, December 5, 4-8 pm and Saturday, December 6, 10 am – 5 pm.
