As always, wealthy business men are handing out million dollar bonuses, while education & healthcare are being cut. Sports stadiums are being built, while thousands of children sleep in shelters every night. Billions are spent to create & drop bombs on defenseless women & children all over this world, while people claim to be "pro-life". It makes us want to... "FIGHT LIKE A MOTHER!“

(painting, collage, textiles, photography, jewelry, sculpture, poetry, song & spoken word.)  Saturday May 12th 2:00-8:00pm Spoken word, music, poetry section of the show will be at 2 different times. 4:00pm & 6:00pm that day.
