LUBBOCK, Texas — The East Lubbock Art House is celebrating its fifth anniversary of serving the East Lubbock community through artistic expression.

While the event has sold out, the people who were able to secure their tickets are sure to have a great experience and benefit the continued growth of the Art House…
