Light refreshments will be offered.  The gala will feature art from Trent and Kate Freeman as well as some of their house artists that will be with them on a regular basis.  This long-awaited event will kick off the opening of the art gallery and hosting of art classes and workshops that will be held in the teaching studio.
                        Classes and workshops will start February 1st, and those interested can sign up for emails at their website theartificers.com and always be the first to know what’s being offered.
