Happy New Year! This is my favorite time of year...it is a great time to make new goals, get a fresh start and do a little re-organizing! At The Muse, we are planning some really great new classes for 2009, already restocking our inventory and we're feeling excited about the new year. We look forward to seeing you!

 Upcoming Events
 "Frederick Gives Back" First Saturday

fac Jan 3rd: "First Saturday Frederick Gives Back". Shop for yourself while giving to others!!! The Muse has partnered with The Frederick Arts Council to "Give Back." 10% of the day's sales will be donated to The Frederick Arts Council. The primary purpose of the Frederick Arts Council is to raise funds for local artists and arts organizations and disperse those funds through grants, scholarships and awards.

Our guest artist is Hillary Banachowski! Previously known for her Lunachic art-wear clothing line and abstract watercolor collages, Banachowski is diverging onto new pathways and creating just for the fun of it. She is back with new drawings, oil pastels, and more. "Making art for a living and making art for pure enjoyment are two totally different things. I am reveling in the latter !"
