James Jeffers Photography!
Exclusive Showing at Nifty Nic Nacs

Friday Nights are always exciting in downtown Venice, but Friday, March 14 will be a unique evening at Nifty Nic Nacs!
James Jeffers 
A photography show featuring the works of local artist James Jeffers (seen at right) will be held at Nifty Nic Nacs from 5:30 to 8:00 pm. This break-out showing of a young and exciting Venice resident will display a variety of subjects of his works, from portraits to nature photography. James will have several paintings available as well.
