This is a really cool building which houses artists studios. It also opens to the public…read morefrequently to have receptions and showcase its artists' work. The building is somewhat industrial-looking, like a warehouse/small factory converted into art studios. The mastermind behind this conversion, a thin, charming gray-haired man with glasses (I can't remember his name!) is an artist himself and crafted the enormous sliding doors to each artist's studio. Each door is custom, unique and impressive. It utilizes ordinary and construction materials in sort of a flat, yet dimensional sculpture. The lighting is professional. The building's exterior has few opaque walls, and uses tinted windows from floor to ceiling in most cases. The artists featured here are all either aspiring or actual professional artists. I find most of them to be very talented. The famous MIssouri water-colorist Paul Jackson maintains a space here. Come here on a weekend during the art crawls, or artrageous friday's or whenever this place opens its doors. There's usually free wine and cheese and you can talk to the artists (and maybe buy their work!).

On some friday nights (artrageous friday nights, of course), you can wander around the funky, cozy underground catacomb gallery spaces, each wine and cheese and stuff with fellow gallery-wanderers, and just soak up all the crazy stuff they got going on, from a silver jeweler to musicians to I think even a hair salon was down there. Anyhow, it's pretty amazing. I don't think they have these kind of reception open-gallery things often, but they usually coincide with the artragrous fridays that columbia downtown does. So check it out and come hungry because they like to lay out snacks and such. As someone fictional said to Sarah Conner (?) once, "I'll be back."
