Quick Update: New Date for the ETAF Pop-Up at Bright!We’re officially moving our Pop-Up event from November 29 to Friday, December 12.
This gives us a little room to grow — and a little more time to convince Casey Cockrell to bless us with a few holiday carols. 🎶😉
And hey, creators — this also means another chance to join us! If you’re interested in being part of the magic, get in touch with us.
✨ ETAF Pop-Up at Bright — A Night of Art, Lights & Holiday Magic! ✨
