[caption id="attachment_83" align="alignleft" width="195" caption="BOA Open House During Holiday Gala"][/caption] This weekend is the big Holiday Gala shindig here at Anderson Alley. All four floors of the building are open and you can browse around, chat with all the artists, listen to live music on every floor, and - of course - get a start on your holiday shopping. BOA will be open both days and all staff and many board members will be here too. As a special bonus, we'll be hosting a brief poetry reading from 7:30-8PM featuring four talented young poets from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). The reading will be hosted by RIT professor and BOA board member John Roche. We'll have drinks, snacks, and all the great books you could ever hope to find!
