Exciting things are happening on Madison Avenue, we are M.A.D. about art! We will be having our inaugural M.A.D. Art Walk on Saturday, May 31st from 1-6 pm. What is M.A.D.? It is the acronym for the newly formed Madison Arts District. The west end of Madison is teeming with great places and CG is proud to be a part of it! We will be offering make and take crafts all day long, projects for all ages from kids to adults. And don't forget, parking is easy at CG, we have a huge public lot directly behind the store.
