What visitors say
My kids loved this. As 11 and 9 we weren't sure going in. It was great! Definstly recommend if your in town! Super cool place!
Wonderful art exhibit. I like how they combine the work from students at all of their schools. Parking is a little difficult and that area has a hectic traffic pattern. But the gallery is simple and refreshing.
Great place for kids. Highly recommended!
