★★★★★Micki NewtonAttended a quilt bed turning event. They shared 4 generations of beautiful family quilts. Awesome showing!
★★★★★IsaBella Star (Bella, Laura)Went in. It just opened. The ladies we spoke to were very nice and welcoming. It wasn't hot in there. It was like 94 out. Thank you for letting us come in and look. So they didn't have the page done. It's okay. Work in progress they told us. But so far! It was looking AWESOME 👌🏻 👏🏻 Way to go ladies. Me and my husband will be back in 2 or 3 weeks. Me and him came in about 3 weeks ago. We enjoyed. We are not from the area. We stopped because we had to pick uo some tools and parts for a truck motor we are working on. We were trying to burn some time! Walked through the downtown area and so happened to come across this place. We stopped and again.. it was very nice. A little small, but it's okay! It will be filled with beautiful arts soon I am sure! I am so excited to see! Enjoy some of the photos I took! Also they had bathrooms! They were very cleaned.. they have a gift shop. Again you can buy art here. Thank you for the experience. Even if it was cut short because of the work in progress.. but we are so excited to come back and see what you have done with the place! 😊 When I return! I will be taking more beautiful photos for this review. Much love! ***Let me know if you want me to remove any photos. I will*** Again I believe all the art is for sell. Not sure. Give them a call. Much love ❤️
★★★★★PhilanaI love this place. More people should take advantage of the activities they sponsor. They really have a lot to offer the community. They have great exhibits. They have an art camp for kids in the summer that's awesome. They also have art walks. I attended the most recent one. It was a beautiful day for it.
★★★★★John EspinosaWe stopped in on a whim and glad we did. The gallery was displaying art work created by middle and high school students. It was very well done. We spoke with the director for a period of time and were provided with a history of the location and what it hopes to accomplish. This facility deserves the support of the local community if it wishes to continue promoting the arts.
★★★★★John KnausI attended a wedding here, so this is not a usual review, only some observations. The gift shop was unique, with offerings from many of the local artists. Though older, the interior was clean and well kept showing care by the community. The art on the walls was tasteful and done with talent.
