We believe the visual arts enrich everyone’s life.
We are a gathering place for anyone who believes in the creative process, whether you gain inspiration by enjoying the creative expression of artists we represent . . . or exploring your own creative path through art classes we offer.
We are a Studio . . . offering you the opportunity to Plan Your Own Art Class or Art Party for children, families and adults that fits your schedule and interest. In addition we also have regularly scheduled Thursday Night Art Classes and Saturday Afternoon Children’s Art Classes. Our goal is for everyone to have a positive experience and Find Joy in the Journey!
We are a Gallery . . . featuring original artwork for sale by David Smith, owner/resident artist, and represent over 20 extraordinary 2-D and 3-D regional gallery artists located throughout Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin. We continually are on the lookout for current, innovative artists, who may not normally show in the area, to invite into our gallery for two month solo exhibition in our upper gallery.
Why do people choose to acquire original artwork and items created by an artist or craftsmen . . . or learn to create their own artwork?
Because it brings us JOY!
