Holiday Gathering: Tombola, Treats, and new art exhibit, GLIMMERS.

The festive season is in full swing, and we’re celebrating with a burst of holiday cheer at the RAID Gallery & Café.

Join us on Monday, December 22, from 12 PM until 8pm, as we draw the lucky winners of our Christmas Tombola, and launch our new art exhibit, GLIMMERS, featuring the beautiful line-work of award-winning artist Ramón K Pérez.

Will you be the one to unwrap a RAID Book Bundle stacked with incredible indie comics?
Or perhaps you’ll take home a coveted Coffee Card to keep you warm all winter? Or will you pull the ellusive golden ticket — the greatest gift of all!

But that’s not all...

To make this holiday afternoon extra special, all participants will enjoy:
• Fresh tiramisu cups (made in-house)
• Hot apple cider
• Freshly baked calzoni

Expect a warm, community-focused gathering with good food, good company, and a touch of suspense as we reveal who the Fates have chosen this year.

GLIMMERS.

Glimmers is an intimate collection of pen-and-ink illustrations by award-winning artist Ramón K Pérez, celebrating the quiet, luminous moments that make up a life. Through a series of elegantly rendered feminine vignettes — reading on a sun-splashed beach, enjoying a cup of up of tea on a winter day, or simply enjoying a glass of wine — Pérez distills the beauty found in pause, presence, and personal ritual.

Executed with his signature line work and a sensitivity to gesture and mood, these drawings capture not grand narratives but the subtle sparks of everyday existence — the fleeting, tender instants that reveal who we are when the world falls away. Glimmers invites viewers to slow down, look closer, and find resonance in the small, soft, universal rhythms of being.

We’re looking forward to spending a cozy afternoon together: drawing names, sharing good food, and giving you a first look at GLIMMERS. Whether you’re here for the raffle, the art, or just the company, we hope you’ll linger, explore, and enjoy a moment of calm in the middle of the holiday rush.

Consider this our way of ending the year with warmth, creativity, and a little bit of magic.
