"The monthly art walk is great. Wide variety of artists and media. Be sure wear comfortable shoes as the studio are spread across a number of buildings."
Brett Byrd
"I am a local artist looking for an art studio. The woman who answered the phone was incredibly rude and short when I was trying to ask about how I go about renting one of their spaces. She told me to call the property manager and would not give me their number nor spell the name out to me. She told me to google it and dismissed any further question. If this is how they deal with someone merely trying to ask about information regarding becoming part of this community, I will go somewhere else."
Ella Anne Stein
"Lovely art district with many very talented artists. You can see the galleries that they work in on a daily basis. Make sure to catch First Friday every month during the cooler season!"
