Rio Claro Studio Announces Mug-Up–Community-Building One Cup Of Joe At A Time
Rio Claro Studio, a San Marcos TX downtown gallery, is pleased to announce a big new monthly event called Mug-Up. The event will be held in the foyer of Rio Claro Studio at 120 West Hopkins Street, San Marcos TX 78666 this upcoming Saturday morning, February 27, 2016 between 10 am – 12 pm. Rio Claro Studio invites everyone to stop by and to bring your own mug! Mugs will be provided if you forget.
Mug-Up is a caffeine-fueled, informal meet-up. Rio Claro Studio will provide the coffee and some baked goods; all are welcome to bring a sampling of their favorite goodies and treats as well. Tradition holds that there are always deviled eggs to start things off.
The first Mug-Up was created by Ellen “Ejay” Lefavour on Madfish Wharf in the Rocky Neck Art Colony in Gloucester MA where Gigi Mederos and Stevie Black had their successful gallery, Equator Gallery. Mug-Up was a way for anyone and everyone to enjoy community building and networking on a grassroots level while enjoying a hearty cup of coffee and a tasty treat. It is because of Ejay’s love of deviled eggs that Stevie and Gigi will keep that tradition alive here in San Marcos.
Rio Claro Studio will hold the event monthly on the last Saturday of every month. Each month the studio/gallery will create an event page on Facebook with dates and times. The event will be held rain or shine, and the public is welcome and encouraged to attend this free event.
