Artisan Tax Talk: Not many people are excited about doing their taxes, but when you combine "the artistic personality" with a fairly unstructured occupation, it can become, in the words of Annie Dugan, "daunting, confusing and surprisingly unfair."  Never fear: the Superior Artisans are here with tomorrow's Artisan Tax Talk, an evening with an artist-friendly tax expert to help answer all your questions.

Ladies Drawing Night:  Wednesday, Studio Haiku is holding this chance for you to combine making, thinking, community and cameraderie, with special guest star Tin Cup Design.
