Participating venues include Yonder, Yardstick, Clay on Steele, Ladybug Glass, Fishline Studios, Steele Street Trading Company, Robert Ray Gallery and the Pottery Co-op. Maps are available at each location.

The fun will continue with an open mic on March 16, 6:30-8:30 pm, for artists ages 11 to 18. Doors open at 6 pm for signup. The event will take place at Robert Ray Gallery, 520 Parkway St. in Algoma.
