Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 AM to 2 PM our doors are open.
We have an exhibition featuring the artists of Verve Vertu and we recently added watercolor paintings by a local group. The weaving group has left their work for you to enjoy, and community members have decorated masks, and the masks are displayed in our windows. Stop in and enjoy.
