Orange Line Gallery continues to spread art cheer during this holiday season with an extra special show out of the gallery called, “Thank You Santa”.

A lovely arrangement of holiday music will be heard to get everyone in the mood.

“When I see Santa this year, all I want to do is express my gratitude for the good people around me- family and friends. I really have all that I want; the only thing on my Christmas list is for everyone to get together to celebrate the holidays. I’m trying to make that happen during the month of December,” states OL owner Melissa Tiffany. “And Sasha is such a beautiful venue, and they are a wonderful group, I definately wanted them to celebrate with me.”

Sasha Salon & Spa is open Tuesday – Friday from 9am – 6pm and Saturday from 8am – 4pm. The owner, Michalle Harmon, is a friend of the arts and her shop coninues to promote fine art in the area.
