abble Art Bar is Winston-Salem’s newest hangout spot. The momand-kid team, Sarah and Tuesday, opened their doors in September at the West End Mill Works. As WinstonSalem natives, they wanted to add to the city’s creative culture by bringing fresh perspectives and experiences. Designed for the creatively curious, the art bar menu includes everything from coloring to stamp carving, plus an array of holiday activities, like ornament decorating, card-making, “Gingerboard” houses and

mini-tree making. Beginners and families welcome.

Give the gift of joy! The gift shop is a menagerie of artful goods including vintage glassware, pottery, jewelry, tees, candles & more. Gift cards available in any amount and can be used in the shop or art bar.

Dabble will also host live music performances, pop-up hot chocolate bars, movie screenings and more during the month of December. Check out their website to learn more.

cuppernong Books opened on Dec. 21, 2013 and has been an essential part of the rebirth of downtown Greensboro ever since.

We are a general interest/literary bookstore featuring fiction and poetry along with a remarkable children’s section and a broad range of general interest titles.

Within the store is a café serving organic coffee and espresso, wine and beer sourced primarily from local small businesses. We also partner with Jerusalem Market for sandwiches, salads and more substantial fare.

Scuppernong Books also hosts hundreds of events

a year, bringing in writers from around the world, the country and the state. In 2019, we hosted more than 250 writers, as well as theater, music, dance and community conversation.

In 2017, Scuppernong Books was instrumental in the formation of the Greensboro Literary Organization, a separate non-profit organization which stages the annual Greensboro Bound Literary Festival, and brings authors into the Guilford County Schools through their Authors Engaging Students program.

In 2018, we formed Scuppernong Editions, an eclectic small press.

Scuppernong Books believes that independent bookstores have an important role to fill in a community.

We hope to live up to that responsibility with an openness to ideas, a respect for all the individuals that make up our Greensboro community, and a willingness 11 to have fun doing so.

This holiday season, make a difference with your gift choices.

Shop local and support Greensboro’s small businesses.
