Saturday, October 6th                       Show is open from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
Saturday, October 6th                       Pickup art work:  5:00 pm to 6:00 pm


Alpha Rho Tau (ART) will show on the South side of the Ann Taylor building along N 72th East Ave. We normally set up a table to receive the paintings near the tree at the entrance of the alley way between Ann Taylor’s and Miss Jackson's. That is the SE corner of the Ann Taylor store. You can deliver and pick up your paintings here. However, when you come to stay (work) you are requested to park in the area along E 22nd Place. This frees up parking space closer to the stores for customers.
