End your tour at Studio 180 Salon and Lucid Element Multimedia. This month through April, features work by Faye Silliman, a local artist with a reception and cocktails from 6-9 pm.  Faye  has traveled extensively.  and her background played a major role in creating her broad artistic vision – due in part to her father’s military career and her nomadic lifestyle, which continued throughout her adult life.

So check out something different on a Friday night. I spoke with Anna Smith of Studio 180 and she said many local businesses stay open with refreshments for visitors to the loop . In fact this week, Maximillian’s is giving out a free dessert to Loop patrons.

I know what we’re doing if it’s not snowing!
