Hellmers fills Charms windows with whimsical seasonal displays such as a suspended and internally illuminated prom dress decorated to look like a Christmas tree and two ornately decorated calaveras to coincide with the Dia de los Muertos celebration at Bare Hands Gallery. Charm also serves as an artist site during the Artwalk festival.
