This past Tuesday was our last 2023 MSCA dinner meet-up at Garibaldi’s Pizza, and it was also our annual holiday art swap.
There was not only original art and prints available for members, but as usual some fun freebies as well. For each art piece members brought in, they were given the chance to draw a number for one of several other member art pieces.
Some of the ones that were avbailable to be picked.
We hope that everyone had a great time and will be back at Garibaldi’s on Tuesday, January 2nd.
In 2024 we will be meeting on the first Tuesday of each month again from 6-8pm. Be sure to add the above dates to your calendar.
Garibaldi’s Pizza is loacted at 3530 Walker Ave. across from Tiger Bookstore, near Southern and Highland.
