In addition to being an artist, Mike also considers himself an experimenter, scientist, engineer, art collector, inventor, entrepreneur, musician, and
an athlete. After one visit to his studio, you'll understand why! - Enjoy complimentary wine and hors d'oeuvres all evening.
- Take a trolley tour to local studios and galleries. The trolley tour will run throughout the evening, with the first departure at 6:15 p.m. Stops include:
- Imagine That! Studio - Explore this innovative creative arts studio for adults with developmental disabilities. The studio strives to provide individuals with the tools and materials to create art and the support to define themselves as artists.

Each artist supported is encouraged to express themselves through a variety of artistic mediums and is given the opportunity to show and sell art on First Fridays.
