Welcome

We are a community center that provides art experiences for all ages, and offers support and creative opportunities for local artists.

​

We aim to cultivate an environment in which the arts flourish, grow, and enrich our community.

​

We provide an art gallery with exhibits by local artists in a variety of media, art classes for adults and children, open studio space, a venue for small concerts and presentations from musicians, artists and writers, and a place that encourages creativity and artistic talent in our own community.
