Howdy Beezers! I'm excited to share something new with you... Over the upcoming months, most of the content you'll be seeing here will be from special guest contibutors!

THE R&R REPORT: SAMARA STUDIOS

Samara Studios
5211 West North Avenue
Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53208
414.444.8100
Hours of Operation: Wed-Fri 1-5 and Saturdays 10-5

Fine art. Antinques and garden sculpture. Vintage clothing and lightintg, custom lamp shades, art classes and special events. Hybrids aren't just cars and tomatoes anymore...

I love quirky places like Samara Studios. The idea that one space can be so multi-functional, multi-faceted, intrigues the hell out of me. This well merchandised little gem on North Avenue, is by no accident a hybrid, but is the brainchild of owners: Scott Meier, Stewart Dempsey, and Maribeth Celek.

Coinciding with the Westside Artwalk is their 2nd Annual 100 for $100 event, where they'll offer more than 100 works of art , each priced at $100 or less. Enjoy complimentary refreshments on Friday evening!
