Open House at Scentual Artistry

Today is Final Friday, the last Friday of the month, and the day when our building opens up to the public for the monthly art walk.
The Pendleton Art Center is an old factory building that houses eight floors of artist studios and shops. Because these are primarily studios where artists work, they do not have business hours, so once pr. month the public gets a chance to come in and check things out. There is valet parking available, and most months there is music, and local food vendors set up with everything from a tea/coffee guy, to Mexican Food, Burgers, Veggie etc.. Individual studios have their own set ups.
My studio/boutique, Scentual Artistry is part of the new Artisan Shops area on the first floor. We have not kept regular hours through the summer, but are there a couple of times pr. week , by appointment, and on the Final Friday, which is open from 6-10 in the evening.
There is always something going on in the city, but this month is different. The MPMF (Mid Point Music Festival) one of the largest music festivals in the country is in full swing, and very near the area where we are located. The city will be overflowing with people. The folks who own our building also own other buildings in the area, with nice sized parking lots, so are able to offer valet parking to visitors coming down for the Art Walk. I can't say how parking will be elsewhere, and on the street, but if anyone is coming down tonight, it might be a good idea to leave a bit early.
I was thinking about not going tonight, just staying home with the family, but I will get them squared away and head downtown in a bit. I really like that solitary drive into the city. As long as I don't hit rush hour traffic, which can sometimes turn my 40 minute drive into an hour and a half of creeping along. That part I don't care for.
Anyway, that's it. Come if you can.
