★★★★★Socilla SomwaruWe’ve been coming to Cottonwood Center for the Arts for years now, and it never loses its charm. As an older couple, we really appreciate the calm, welcoming atmosphere and the variety of artwork on display. It’s a lovely place to spend an afternoon together, taking our time and enjoying each piece. The artists are talented, and there’s always something new to see. It’s become one of our favorite little traditions.
★★★★★Dwight JohnsonFirst time there for an event. Great place for an event Nice little rooms for Art classes and more.
★★★★★Jody HughesI was completely amazed with all the creativity occurring in this building. Everybody was so friendly and definitely a safe space for anybody and everybody. A photograph of mine was selected to be in an exhibit and I was encouraged by my beautiful daughter to check into this opportunity. Not only did I get a photograph out for people to see, but I discovered a whole new community with doors blown wide open for creativity and learning. Go check it out and I'm certain you will find something you've been looking for.
★★★★★David SandenMy wife and I stopped by out of curiosity and really enjoyed our experience. The staff and all the artists we met were friendly and outgoing. My wife is an artist and being amongst all these works of art and speaking with the artist was quite inspiring.
★★★★★Kelly ElliottThis is an amazing collective of artists. If you want one of a kind jewelry you can get it, mixed media art, pottery, paintings, Native American art! This place is fantastic.
