This Saturday, come out to Mid City Rising for a night of good music, good food and even better people.
The monthly art show, hosted by The Collective (read our feature on the group here), aims to unite the community while giving local artists a place to showcase their works.
More than 25 local artists will be displaying their works Saturday, including Emily Eskine, who specializes in portraits, pets and pop culture; oil painter Victor LeBlanc; driftwood jewelry artist Julia Yarbrough; and Chad Townson, a metal artist who will have more than 10 new sculptures.
