This is the best place in town to buy reasonably-priced original art from local painters. Don't believe me? Try to get in the door on Second Saturday! My advice is to visit shortly after that overly-popular event in order to see and appreciate the works without being crowded into a wall.
This site offers a wonderful annual event entitled, The 50-50-50 Show, wherein 50 artists create 50 pieces (most often images, but some sculpture) over the course of 50 days. They then stuff all 2500 pieces into a relatively small space, throw in some appetizers and a few thousand Second Saturday shoppers, and you have a glorious mess of an art show which never ceases to amaze me! Even my preteen daughter begs to visit the gallery during this show -- the power of good, approachable art!
Visit a few days AFTER Second Saturday!
