Brick & Mortar Living is getting festive on a number of fronts.
The shop, located at 52 Sixth St., is holding its annual holiday social on Thursday, Dec. 3 from 6 to 11 p.m. The social features snacks and beverages – and a chance to check out all the shop’s goodies and get some deals at Brick & Mortar Living.
As if that’s not enough, Brick & Mortar is holding a chalk art show and competition with 21 pre-selected participants at its sister venue, the Sixth Street Pop-Up and Gallery, located two doors away at 42 Sixth St. The chalk art show runs from 6:30 to 11 p.m. on Dec. 3 (tonight) and includes a fun photo booth.
