LAAC NEWS RELEASE

The Los Alamos Arts Council will be hosting a business after hours with the Los Alamos Chamber of Commerce tonight, Dec. 8, from 5PM-7PM inside the Fuller Lodge Art Center. We hope our community partners, members, and volunteers who have made 2022 a success will join us for drinks with Bathtub Row Brewing as well as snacks provided by staff and our Board of Directors. 

Thank you all for the work and effort you continue to put in to lift up the arts in Los Alamos County, and if you would like to learn more about what we are doing in 2023 and how you can continue to support our efforts, please feel free to reach out to me and we can meet for coffee, tea, or just a chat. 

Fuller Lodge Art Center is located at 2132 Central Avenue in Los Alamos. The event provides a great opportunity for holiday shopping at the Affordable Arts Show which continues throughout December at the Center.
