There is no charge to exhibit and no charge to enter--it's an opportunity for community building both within our yoga community, as well as the community of White River Junction. You set your own prices and pay no commission to UVY.
This will be part of the "First Fridays in White River Junction", when many  
artists open their studios, shops stay open for the evening, and  
special events happen throughout town. It's a fun scene, especially as the weather warms up.
