Admission is $10, and proceeds support We Care Arts, a non-profit that supports individuals with disabilities and physical challenges through the healing power of art. There will also be cool events happening inside the facility. On-site tattooing from local and traveling renowned artists and a tattoo contest will give you the chance to donate to We Care Arts.
