See you there!

Thank you

We're a small business with big dreams to fill, some days easier than others but it just takes one person to come through the doors and without even knowing says something positive and encouraging  and we remember why we do what we do.  We have had some big hurdles to jump due to equipment failures and whatnots but that didn't stop us from coming in every day. So thank you to all of our volunteers, students, customers, family and friends for your ongoing support.   

With that being said, Tide Line Gallery is hosting a draw to win a Flashing piece.  The piece is on display at the gallery, and we encourage all of you to come in and enter your name to win it.  Draw date is December 19.
