Join us on Saturday, July 11, 2026, from 11 am to 3 pm for a Summer Showcase featuring the work of Marlena Von Hoffer, Furuta Drop.
Marlena Von Hoffer, known as polarisu, is the creator of Furuta Drop—a cat‑centric art and zakka brand that infuses everyday life with vibrant color, playful charm, and a distinctly kawaii sensibility. A mixed‑race artist and lifelong city‑dweller now based in Troy, NY, she draws on her cultural roots to craft joyful, character‑driven pieces designed to brighten the mundane and share a bit of whimsy with everyone she meets.
The Summer Showcase at Arlene’s series highlights local creatives and makers, giving them a platform to share their talents with our community. On Saturdays throughout the summer, these showcases will be set up right outside our front door.
Come celebrate local creativity, support regional artists, and enjoy a fun, family‑friendly event. Free to attend and full of inspiration!
