CUBE MARKETPLACE DOWNTOWN will debut this Saturday, February 13th, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 550 Ceres Avenue, LA CA 90013 (between 5th and 6th Streets on Ceres).   In addition to our full collection of gourmet food products, Saturday’s visitors will be among the first to shop our brand-spankin’-new housewares, tabletop, and garden collections!  We are so excited to debut these incredible pieces from an array of truly special and worldly artisans and artists–we know you will love them as much as we do.  While you’re shopping, you can snack on Cube’s house-made sweets, or sip Prosecco or coffee bar selections.  And, last but not least, classes!!  Cube Marketplace Downtown is as much about learning as it is about great shopping.  We’ve enlisted a roster of experts to create educational programs to run at our pop-up each month.  February’s class schedule follows below–classes are filling up fast, and enrollment is extremely limited.  To register, please email the contacts listed next to each class, or call us at 213-542-3316 with any questions.  Please note, email is the preferred method to register for all Cube Marketplace Downtown classes.
