The Ink People’s location will be open to the public from 5pm - 10pm that night with an Ink People Friends and Family Gallery Show, performances by DreamMaker Projects, and light food for the community to enjoy.

Get a first glimpse of the new mural, being painted by muralist team Lucas Thornton and Kyle Sanders! They will be bringing color to the exterior of the building, highlighting this as a place where creativity thrives.

A full schedule of community activities at the new space will be announced soon.
