Sub Rosa reunion offers a Christmas gift swap meet and art showcase [Christmas]

Popular Louisville Arts showcase and networking event resurrects for the holidays, offering a Christmas gift swap meet, a showcase of local artists and performers, giving locals a chance to do some holiday shopping while being entertained.

 

You're welcome: A local list of ways and places to make the most of your gift giving [Christmas]

There's no excuse for failing to support local businesses, artists, writers, musicians and people this holiday season. I've compiled a great list of affordable and encouraging ways to feel great about supporting your city and gifting your loved ones at the same time. There are even events in which you can ENJOY your shopping that are filled with entertainment and good company.

You're welcome ahead of time for the dose of joy you'll get from following the recommendations included below. It's always a great idea to support local artists and businesses when doing your holiday shopping, but Occupy Wall St! seems to be inspiring more people to raise a banner (both literally and metaphorically) to pay more attention to individuals in the community.
