MIXMAS! Holiday Celebration
The MIXMAS is a collaborative holiday celebration of Community, Art & Culture.
The holidays are a busy time and we figured it would be better to have one big party instead of lots of little ones. So we invited some of our favorite local organizations to help us celebrate:
LBCreative!
Lyons Art Supply
Vayden Roi Galleries
Evolver
LB Art Werks
LB Time Exchange
Long Beach Cinemateque
Catalyst Network of Communities
Artists As Art
GloWorks
T’s Space
SolShock
MsT Musze Productions
EPKvision
Tinderbox
Come celebrate with all of us at LYONS ART SUPPLY on Saturday, December 11th. Lyons will also be hosting their monthly Lyons at Night event which brings a variety of artists exhibiting and selling unique hand crafts and works of art. Lyons will be open till 10pm that night and offering 40% off everything in the store during the event.
Facebook Invite: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=106567622747804

As an interactive activity, we will be having a Holiday card making workshop with supplies from the Long Beach Depot for Creative Reuse.
We will also be hosting a Food & Clothing Drive so bring something to donate!
This program is funded by a Long Beach Community Foundation Connected Corridor grant supported by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation’s Transformation Initiative.
