I’ll be signing copies of Junkyard Dogs and Hanging with My Peeps at the Arts Café.

The Arts Café is a celebration featuring neighborhood and local artists with a variety of artistic, musical, and culinary talents. Additionally, the Arts Café provides housing tours which take place in beautiful houses that have been, or are in the process of being, rehabilitated by the Near Northwest Neighborhood, Inc. (NNN). Artists, Musicians and Culinary Folk will gather in and around the NNN Offices in the 900-1000 Blocks of Portage Avenue, the 900 and 1000 blocks of California and the 900 Block of Cottage Grove. It is a rain or shine event.

The Arts Café attracts a broad range of local talent – from chefs to artists, musicians, and craftspeople – and a number of area residents attend or volunteer. Past crowds have drawn over 1,200 people to the neighborhood to enjoy the homes and tents that line the walks filled with area artists’ work
