Thanks to Closing Party guests! Don't miss Aaron Alves at next week's AHA! night

If you're bummed because you missed our free LIVE music event (because you were at home on Sunday playing video games, acting self important or whatever it is people do around here..) Come see new music by AARON ALVES after our August AHA! night.

We were also so floored by our musician guest Keith Borges that we asked him to come in early and play during the Aha! Opening (at least by 7pm)

We'll be showcasing new work by Ann Guiliani during this months AHA! She received an MFA in Printmaking & Visual Design at UMD after studying with Marc St. Pierre & Kurt Wisneski

BLOGS ARE REALLY HIP..

Oko Arts is jumping on the BlogWagon (could be a new multimilliondollrrr site ©HBurkitt) because blogs are really hip... right? We hope so. Because, well, if we're running it, it will be. As we set up our blog don't forget to look to our facebook page for more info, updates, upcoming events and all that good stuff. Like us, Follow us, Love us (if you can't do that through the internet, sure you'll find some creepy alternative) but feel free to stalk us, we're into that- or even better, come see us in the flesh!

Open this weekend, and after that we'll be "renovating" adding shelving, more art supplies, books, cool stuff whatever. And setting up for our new show July 14th.
