Over 35 artists will be open for the Friday night event in a fun and free event showcasing artwork in a variety of mediums, held in the working studios of Cornelia Arts Building artists and artisans.

Jason Messinger will be showing new original tile murals.

Besides new art tiles, the artist is introducing new modestly priced gifts; including new playing card sets, postage stamps, and posters. Also on view are Jason Messinger's drawings, paintings in watercolor and ink, and sculpture.
