I am also very pleased to announce that the Third Thursday on February 21 was a great success and I would like to invite everybody to visit and spread the word:
Please visit The Pioneer Building Studios on Thursday, March 21, 5-9 p.m. for the second of a new series of events called THIRD THURSDAYS.
The links below are full of information regarding area art venues that will be open and welcoming visitors.
By participating in this monthly event, we are joining a long-established tradition of museums, galleries and artists' studios in many major cities in the United States.
The Pioneer Building is located at 2679 East Grand Boulevard, Detroit, just west of Russell. Maps are included in the websites.
Please Note:
Due to a family emergency I won't be able to open my studio on March 21, since I am in Germany.
Have a great beginning of spring!
Creatively and kindly, Birgit
