So proud of @womenslaundry and @PDSVisualArts to have been shouted out by one of their first and biggest fans, @cltiscreative, who helped start the inertia behind the movement.
What to do next week (March 8-14)? Matt Olin shared a few faves, including HUG recipients Airing Out the "Dirty" Laundry, CineCasual and The Pauline Tea-Bar Apothecary, with Gwendolyn Glenn of our media partner, WFAE. Check them out:
