Thanks to all who passed on the sad news from Sprig and Sprout:
“After 13 incredible years in Glover Park, we’re heartbroken to share that
Sprig & Sprout will be closing our doors for good at the end of the night on Sunday, July 27.
This has been one of the hardest decisions Marc and I have had to make—and we announce this with disappointed hearts. For over three years, we’ve been operating without a formal lease, without any legal protections, and only crushing silence from our landlord. The repairs on the building have become overwhelming and without any response from our landlord we essentially are being constructively evicted.

WHOA somehow I missed the sale of Culture House!! They shared June 18th:
“Hi there! We’ve got some news.
In June 2025, National Community Church purchased Culture House.
The church plans to continue offering Culture House as an art exhibit space and event venue, adding church and community events to the mix. The new owners also plan to retain the property’s iconic murals on the exterior and in the upstairs ballroom.
While multiple gallery directors have facilitated Culture House exhibitions, Cicie Sattarnilasskorn has been stewarding artists and projects within the space since January 2022.
In honor of all that has gone into Culture House so far, we will be running a retrospective of projects and programs in our stories now through June 25, 2025.
Everyone, show us your favorite moment at or in the space!
Artists and activators who have activated this space, show us something!”
Join the Night Court for a night of dancing and drinking faerie wine! The night starts with dance performances inspired by the A Court of Thorns and Roses series followed by a dance party amongst your new fae friends!
Buy your tickets here!
