Enjoy in a wine glass, on the rocks, or neat, garnished with an orange slice.   2. Bright & Spicy  Mellow out while your taste buds tap dance. Curious Elixir No. 2 is the spicy lovechild of the pineapple margarita and the Dark & Stormy, 100% booze-free.

Broken Mirrors is a solo exhibition featuring the paintings of Durango artist Sarah House. This exhibition invites you to explore a world where hope is discovered in the midst of chaos and beauty is enhanced through shattered reflections of self.    In Broken Mirrors, Sarah House draws her inspiration from the messiness of life, the imperfections that define us, and the uncertainty that permeates our existence. Through her unique artistic lens, she unearths the richness found in embracing chaos, showcasing the profound beauty that emerges when we embrace the complexity of our humanity.    "I find hope in messy, broken, ambiguous scenes. They remind me that despite my best efforts, I can't squash the humanity out of myself or the complexity out of my life, and I will always find surprises that I can learn from." - Sarah House   This exhibition made possible by Stillwater Music and Durango Creative District.
