Hartford Prints!, again, provided a classy alternative for those wanting to have fun beyond just drinking on a day that has, around these parts, become equated with drinking. They previously opened up their space following the St. Patrick’s Day parade for those who had outgrown (or entirely bypassed) the stage of life that involves chugging from plastic cups in a parking lot.

Monday night, singer-songwriters Oh, Cassius performed, Studio N111 provided chalk, paper, and other art supplies for the public, and a graffiti wall was created by Los Cinco.

And sure, there were margarita samples available, but nobody was being too ridiculous. Didn’t hurt that there was a d.i.y. taco bar in the back room.

Los Cinco

Grab chalk. Make art.

Oh, Cassius!
