Crossing Paths


Continue Crossing Paths...

The opportunity to take in this special storytelling project and tour by Peg Town has been extended. This fall you can drop by Artspace to pick up your map guiding you to 10 downtown sites. Or simply tune in through our website.  

And, PLEASE feel free to contribute your own stories about crossing paths with Artspace. There are submissions portals on each page of the site. And, if writing is not your thing, we'll work with you to record your memories live. So get in touch. 

We want to hear from you!!!
