Visited with family to check out the 6x6 amateur artist exhibition and to purchase some artwork from the exhibit for ourselves. It was so awesome seeing all of the rooms just completely full of artwork! There was so much to look at it was hard to even decide which pieces I was interested in! I absolutely loved that the art was only $20 as well! Such a fun and beautiful event, and I love my new pieces!
MoreStrated in the 1970's as A gallery for local tallent this latest modle has created a great gallery space withy interesting shows. Easy to visit worth a trip
MoreGood location and exhibits that draw people in to experience the art. The space is open and inviting and there are artists that have permanent spaces upstairs.
MoreWe recently stopped in for a First Friday and had a great time! So much to look at, great music upstairs, and a nice atmosphere.
MoreLots of great energy here, very emerging to inconsequential art. I saw the 6x6 exhibition, which was fun, great for the community, but I can't say I learned a lot. From the looks of the program, the contemporary art aficionado will not be fully engaged, but it seems like a good way for locals to get involved on a grassroots level with very emerging (very definitely not cutting edge) art.
