Curls Studio will be at Haymarket Art Market (HAM) this Saturday, October 28, 2023 at Great Mane Brewery (6620 James Madison Hwy, Haymarket, VA 20169) starting at 3PM — if you want to see us please come during the earlier hours of the show as I can not guarantee staying until 10PM when the event ends.

What to expect: Live mural painting, arts and crafts vendors, DJs & MCs, food trucks, paint & sip for adults, cider for kids, and the best local craft beers in the area.

This is a family friendly event and from 3-6PM there will be activities for children. From 6-10PM it will still be a family friendly event, however more adult focused. Admission is free.

Loads of cool artists are listed on the HAM Instagram (@haymarketartmarket).
