It's that time of year again for the Locust Projects Annual Fundraiser this Saturday, April 16th at the Herzog & de Meuron designed parking garage. This is the place Johnny Boy always scores some great art at their auction. Tickets are $150 ($125 for LP members) and can be purchased HERE. The evening will include drinks from Tito's Handmade Vodka, Peroni, and Sam Adams, along with food from local favorites Shake Shack, Macchialina, the Federal, MC Kitchen, Baires Grill, and Harrys Pizzeria.
