FROM THE ARCHIVE
We are working on a Yellow Submarine Beatles exhibit at The Church Studio. The collection features many fun Beatles memorabilia, including pins, Russian nesting dolls, and a vintage lunch box. The exhibit will offer a unique opportunity to admire these collectibles and appreciate their significance in the musical history of the Fab Four. Stay tuned for opening date!
VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Becky is also a studio member and is a wealth of knowledge of Rock and Roll history. A fun fact about Becky, is that she is an expert on Moody Blues and has a huge personal collection! Thank you Becky for all you do!
