Arts on Fire is Free to the Public - Just Like the Museum Every Day

I am fortunate that I live within 2 blocks of The Square and can check out the new stuff that happens including the new installations outside of the building.    The exhibitions are free to the public year-round.  If you haven't been to the museum, check out their website here for the latest in news and art shows here.
