Wander the West Side: Holiday Shopping Map Highlights Local Gems

Make the most of your holiday shopping by exploring the vibrant West Side neighborhood. Urban Roots has created a charming map featuring quirky illustrations of building exteriors and everyday city items to guide you to unique storefronts you might otherwise miss.

Discover Hidden Treasures Between Richmond Avenue and Niagara Street

Few realize how many distinctive shops lie in this corridor. You'll find a brand-new art gallery, a renovated music venue/antique shop, a screen-printing studio, and of course, Urban Roots—where artist Scott Bye will be featured during Open Studios, December 4–6.

Featured Artists at Urban Roots

Scott Bye transforms everyday objects into ambiguous structures, composite workhorses, and beautifully complex assemblages. He'll be joined by Doug Sargent, a sculptor who uses recycled materials to create garden-worthy decor. Stop by the weekend of December 4th for hot drinks, snacks, and inspiring art.
