Intiatives

Featured

Lions & Rabbits has long been the hub for art-centric events.
For many years we hosted weddings, corporate gatherings, dinner parties, art exhibitions, and so much more at our gallery on Plainfield Ave.
Last winter, we grew out of that gallery space. We moved on, so that we can bring these special experiences closer to home.
