Powered by GoogleWhich an incredible experience! This center is beautifully designed with friendly staff and fun, interactive items. We loved the Art-O-Mat to get mini art from tokens which can be purchased at the front desk. The lights exhibit was stunning and staff was available and ready to help with any direction in the dark room. Such a fun experience!
What a treasure in our community. We went to the light exhibit today and it was free to get in! We absolutely loved the exhibit. Afterwards our son played in the light lab and had a blast. I have also taken multiple classes here and they have all been excellent!
I have been taking one of the classes for the last 6 weeks and it's been really amazing. I love the atmosphere, it feels so pleasant and safe. My teacher right now is Martha Coates for making Renaissance clothing. I have enjoyed her class so much i am looking forward to enrolling in another class. If i can't get into Mrs. Coates class i will happily enroll in someone elses class.
We visited on a day they were switching out exhibits on the second floor, so we didn’t get to see everything — but honestly, it just gives us a reason to go back. The new café/coffee shop was SO good, and the little art vending machine was absolutely adorable. Such a fun touch. The photography on the third floor was incredible — we spent so much time up there. Overall, it was a great experience and we’re definitely going back to see the new exhibits. 🎨✨
Love coming here to wander through the exhibits. They change every couple of months and the knowledge and storytelling here is incredible. The contemporary does a stellar job of sharing history through art and design. Plus they offer art classes at the studio school across the street. Great staff, teachers, an facilities. I’m glad I became a member.
