• Check the gift shop at Aurora Café + Roastery. Prints, artist books, and the occasional affordable original. The gift shop funds the programming.
• Check for artist talks at Julie Anne's Art Supplies and Gallery. Talks, walkthroughs and panel discussions are often free and turn a good show into a great evening.
