"We stumbled on this gem Saturday after having brunch at Justini’s. The exhibits are amazing. It is un air conditioned building as advised in their information. A fan and some cold water will help you make it through. On our walk over we saw all the outdoor art that some might consider as graffiti but this is truly art. Go visit. Here are just a few of the exhibits."
