Van Gogh is known today not only for his art but for the many letters he left behind. The correspondence he kept with his brother, sister, and fellow artists have filled books and helped us to paint a clearer picture of his life experiences. As a nod to Van Gogh, drop in for an afternoon devoted to the art of letter writing. We have stationery, writing implements, typewriters, envelopes, and more. Bring along your addresses, stamps, and any other supplies you’d like to use. Vive la snail mail! Cash bar.
