We’ve all been there. You show up on First Friday. You didn’t get the memo. Everyone is in an awesome handmade costume except for you. You desperately search the map for somewhere you could create a mask with your cool friends. You have to move quick before the trolls realize you don’t have a costume… Then you see it. There. Next to the BFF Gallery. In BFF’s fifth venue and new home for education programming. All supplies provided. They even have free coffee.

Don’t worry if life gets in the way of your participating in the Handmade Parade. We thought of that already—now you have no excuse not to join in on the fun!

See you there!
