Stores to stay open late for Homewood Loves Art Night

There’s a new reason to spend Friday night in downtown Homewood. Each third Friday of the month, participating stores are now staying open until 8:30 p.m. as a part of Homewood Loves Art Night. The second event will be held Nov. 21.

Stores will be offering refreshments, trunk shows, music and other specials.

“We wanted it to have an artsy bohemian feel to it for people to enjoy themselves after a long day, and to see how quaint Homewood is,” said Jezebel’s owner Gail White, who is helping organize the event.

White also noted that the night will provide an alternative malls for people looking to shop after the end of the work day.

“It’s going to be a nice night for people to stroll around before dinner and meet their local shop keepers,” White said.

It’s her hope that residents come out to experience the event’s tagline for themselves — “love art, love music, love life.”
