Stopped by the Brentwood Arts Exchange lately? This gallery along the Route 1 corridor is a gem of a find – consistently full of beautifully curated exhibits that give us both pause and wonder. And it’s free to thee. As many readers will have visitors in town over the holidays, we thought we’d highlight this gallery as a place to take folks to should you choose to explore your burgeoning creative side with Uncle Mikey or Aunty Shante.

Art Supplies, Birthday Gifts & More at Hyattsville’s Artist & Craftsman Supply
Stepped inside Artist & Craftsman Supply (A&C) in Hyattsville for the first time back in November of last year; they had set up an ugly sweater photo booth and were offering folks free pics of themselves donning these beaded creations, so you know I had to be there. 😉 Artist & Craftsman Supply Hyattsville I’m so […]
