There are many artist studios and cooperatives located within the downtown district, you can easily spend an entire day gallery hopping. Be sure to stick around to check out our popular First Friday art walk. On the first Friday of every month our galleries, studios and shops are open late to showcase our resident painters’, sculptors’, potters’, illustrators’ and makers’ latest creations, complete with live music, gallery talks and refreshments. Our local, regional and nationally recognized artists can often be found creating in their studios; they love meeting our city’s visitors and sharing their stories!
