This is always a really cool event and since there are always new, talented students, each year offers another reason to participate and support.
This is the 14th iteration of the Mount Pleasant Art Walk and as usual, neighborhood businesses have stepped up to act as the venues. The art will be on display during normal business hours at each location until May 31. The opening reception is TONIGHT.
