Guest Artist
Athena Tasiopoulos


This First Friday as part of Mt. Airy Focus on Local Art we are pleased to host the work of our guest artist Athena Tasiopoulos.
Athena's mixed media work is amazing and is related to the female identity.
Her images are both striking and filled with a sense of whimsy.

Come meet the Artist and join us for some local food and drink, to see all the new items in the store and to mingle with your friends and neighbors.


Please be sure to also check out my artwork which will be on display at
