SONIC TEA PARTIES
SONIC TEA PARTIES
The SONIC TEA PARTIES are monthly events curated for artistic showcase and collaboration, an open space for artists to share their work and to enjoy each other in an exchange of ideas. Mayfire's tea blend is always served. Check out the next one here!
These are BYOB events.
Anyone is welcome.
You may bring food or drink of your own!
These parties aren't expensive, but they aren't free to host. Consider a lil donation :)
