Come visit ArtBeast during the month of October for some forbidding fun!  All month, we will celebrate Dia de los Muertos.  Help us build a collaborative altar in our front entry by leaving art work or other mementos to honor friends and family.  On Oct 15, Sugar Skull Art will be onsite from 10 to 5 offering huge sugar skulls for sale for $10 along with a buffet of embellishments to decorate them.
