After a lot of searching, Miss Mary’s Art Space has found a home at 5 New Scotland Avenue. We opened our doors December 1, 2001 with a holiday sale featuring local artists and artisans.
NOW IT'S TIME TO KEEP THE DOORS OPEN!!! Following are some ideas of what could happen in the space. Nothing is written in stone so feel free to share your thoughts. In order to keep going, we will rely heavily on donations generated from events and classes. If we don’t use it, we’ll lose it – so get involved! We’ll keep a calendar of happenings here on the Web site and in the building.
