Holiday Social Preview Party

Break out the tinsel and your tackiest sweater— it’s time to kick off the season. Wander through galleries decked out in wintery holiday décor, sip cheerful drinks, snack on seasonal treats, and strut your stuff in an ugly sweater for a chance to win a holly-jolly prize. Feeling extra festive? Purchase a beautifully decorated tree or wreath to keep the spirit going.
