Join us on the first Sunday of each month for an Open Studios experience!
Meet at least 20 artists, see their process and hear their stories. Admire up to 250 original artworks of various mediums as you walk through our halls. Engage in a community painting activity hosted by an artist, sip a glass of locally made wine, and prepare for a few surprises. Every month is different!
