We will be staying open late and the shop will be hopping for the Franklin Retail Association's annual Witch Walk on October.

The gallery and shop will open at noon for our regular Saturday schedule. Witch Walk officially kicks off at 4 p.m. and continues through 7 p.m. 

Along with hosting a stop for ticket-holding attendees, we plan to hold book readings and a special art opening (artist to be announced soon) - both of which are free and open to all. 

Hollow Oak Press will be here with copies of their latest novel "The Ordinary Magic in Extraordinary Tales" and their first endeavor "The Wordsmiths". The latter of which we reviewed in the most recent Eight & 322 Art Magazine. They will read short stories the books at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. 

For those interested in all the Witch Walk stops and incentives, can purchase a ticket for $30. It comes with a goodie bag with coupons for special drinks, treats, a tarot card reading and entrance to the Witch's Ball at the evening's end. 

​This year local makeup artist extraordinaire Kaleb Lewis will create a special Franklin Witch. 

We've covered the Witch Walk several times over the years, and it's always a blast. Here's where you can see pictures from past events:

• 2024

Join us for our Monthly Puzzle Nights from 6 to 8 p.m. the first Wednesday of each month - Sept. 3, Oct. 7, Nov. 4 and Dec. 2. - at Eight & 322 Art Collective Gallery and Shop, 302 13th Street, Franklin. 

Puzzles are a great way to create something together with friends old and new.

The size of the puzzle will be chosen each night based on the number of people present (likely a 500 piece). Our goal is to put together the entire puzzle in one night. More people = more puzzles. 

The gallery and shop will be open in connection with the event.

Optional RSVP through the Facebook event posting - www.facebook.com/share/1LYMVQG6St/.
