C-U Adventures in Time & Space + Fabrikate
It’s a rough time for small business and artists in the CU area. That’s why CU pARTners has been teaming up area artists and local businesses to offer exclusive deals on limited edition artwork!

Amazing artist Kate Kobak created this beautiful small bag, inspired by our dragon from GAME NIGHT! If you’ve played the game, you know what an imposing figure he is! We were so excited to work with her to create this special limited-edition offer.

This package includes one hand-made dragon bag and a $50 gift certificate to CU Adventures.

The Idea Store + ACME Elfworks
“Zip It Up” by Melissa Mitchell is an 8 x 10 inch digital print mounted on a ½ inch gatorboard (hanger on back). The photograph — which highlights the usual commingling of color and texture inside the Idea Store’s zipper bin — can be hung directly on a wall. Or hanger can be removed easily, and print can be framed. Limited edition of 20.
Included with the print is a $10 Idea Store gift certificate. Both items will be available for pickup when the store reopens.

Jane Addams Bookshop + Steampunk Grub (ALL GONE!)
A note from EKAH: A big thank you to all who purchased the limited-edition art-print bundle from @janeaddamsbooks! All 25 bundles are sold out. I will be dropping them off today. Out of total limited edition of 40, I have set aside 10 prints that I will make available at a later time, after all of the Jane Addams purchases have been picked up. They will not be bundled as a package and will not be offered at a promotional price. If you would like to reserve one, please message me.

Itty Bitty Bike Shop + Lydia Puddicombe (all gone!)
“Open-Mouthed Bicycling Print” by Lydia. While my dog, Lu, enjoys being outside, she enjoys snacks even more and is always looking for an opportunity to fill her belly. Pretty sure if she could bike ride it would look like this. Limited edition of 10 numbered, signed giclee art prints. Printed on acid free, 100% cotton rag paper with archival, pigmented inks. Paper dimensions 8″x10″.
Included in the package is a $20 Gift Certificate good for anything at the IttyBittyBikeShop (you can even apply it to a spring tune-up for your bike).
