Come nosh, wander the exhibit, and hear from Sarah Lypstk & Meghan Elizabeth Trainor, the artists behind Sphagnan: Ink & Logic.

Frontier Home is located at 2121 17th Ave S in North Beacon Hill. We’re a little hard to find. Navigate to 16th and S. Walker and we’re the log cabin at the end of the street on the left. The actual address will take you to the bottom of the hill. If that happens, just come up the stairs. We’re a very short walk from the Beacon Hill light rail!
