We're working out the logistics now. With the Glasgow Tiki Shakers playing inside, there's a good chance we may not have room inside for an art show. We may be able to set up outside in a vendor space, but the art show will then only be up until the sun goes down which is about 5pm. Eric October would be heading up the art show, and he is talking to Amy now about whether it would be feasible or not.
