Happy Earth Day...Bada-Bing

HAPPY EARTH DAY...BADA-BING
Why not continue the Valentine's Day/Easter pattern and celebrate another holiday with chocolate? We've just come out with some bodaciously beautiful bars. We'll be hawking them for $10 donations at Richmond's Earth Day celebration this Saturday (4/18), 10am-4pm in Manchester's Warehouse District (south end of the 14th Street Bridge), home of ART 180 HQ. Click here for more information about Earth Day Richmond.

Can't come Saturday? You can find us on Sunday at the Richmond Craft Mafia's Spring-Bada-Bing. Providing yet another excuse to come to Manchester, "the boss of all craft shows" will be at Plant Zero from 11am-4pm on Sunday (4/19). 

Check out these new designs, selected 'specially for Mama Earth:

Even though it's not environmental (depending on how you look at it, of course), we thought it was just too perfect not to turn this one into a candy bar:

Crossroads Art Center (Staples Mill)
and the newest outlet, J. Emerson Fine Wines & Cheese at 5716 Grove Ave. (near Libbie)

AND WHILE YOU'RE EATING THAT CHOCOLATE...
...and feeling good about having supported ART 180 and helping to give young people a voice through art, mark May 20th on your calendar. That's the date of The Big Show, when we'll showcase the work of all the kids in our programs. You won't want to miss it.
