"Celebrating H(Art)ford"

This sounds like an "only in Hartford" evening: fashion, music, and the visual arts meet small business at a networking event in a gallery.

Small Business Night Out will host The Business Of Art: "Celebrating Artford" on Thursday, October 23, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at ArtSpace Gallery, located at 555 Asylum Avenue. AJ Johnson of Small Business Night Out writes, "get your business cards ready, practice your 60-second 'elevator business pitch' and make sure your camera is charged for what is promising to be the biggest and brightest #SBNO yet...we are expecting more than 200 small business owners and professionals to join us in honoring our Small Business Owners of the Month and meeting and celebrating you – our Friends."

There is a $20 suggested food and beverage donation, and attendees are also invited to bring blankets and socks to donate to the McKinney Shelter in Hartford.
