First Friday, September 4, 5pm-8pm, and throughout September, Look for our colorful papel picado-inspired sidewalk chalk mural, then come inside to wander among flags of Hispanic and Latino countries. How many can you name? Visit our "In the Spotlight" wall to get an idea of the creativity each country has shared with the world. Leave your mark on the Wall: add a sticker with your connection to a country or the creative legacy it gave us. While you're here, create your own simple nierika yarn art to keep!

Change doesn't have to be difficult or unhappy. We support Ritter Todd in her journey forward (though Bridges won't be *quite* the same without her), and we welcome Wesson in her new incarnation as a returning tenant at The Bridges Emporium.

Words cannot begin to describe the sadness we feel at losing Evonne. Many times, without realizing it, she was the glue that helped hold all our chaos together.
Please join us this Fri/Sat/Sun (July 17/18/19) as we celebrate her contribution to our lives with an exhibit and sale of some of her best work. All proceeds go to the Winter family.
In addition, we will have materials on hand for those of you who'd like to leave a note or memory to share with others on our Spotlight wall. We miss you, Evonne.

Below are photos of when it was first getting started on Friday, and after we cleaned up the last stars, stripes, glitter and colored paper Sunday afternoon. We the People CREATE!
