After Hours 3 - Another Great Employee Art Show

I can hardly believe that a year has sped by since I last posted a blog about our employees’ art show! After Hours 3, as it was called this year, took place last Tuesday October 12^th from 6 to 9PM at MSLO offices in the Starrett Lehigh building in Manhattan. I really enjoy these events, as I learn so much about our very talented employees. I hope you enjoy their artwork as much as I did!
