It's a cluster of old buildings now housing artist studios, gallery spaces and more. On any given day, you can browse artists' studio spaces and connect with them in person to purchase art or commission a piece - I'm in awe of their talents! NPA is active in the local arts community and hosts engaging programming for all ages year-round. Take art classes, attend a First Friday gathering or bring your kids for kid-friendly activities like Superhero Day. Check out "Handmade in Indiana" in December, a gallery show/gift shop where you can browse local handmade goods, some from artists-in-residence at NPA. Shop local during the holiday season!

Two local art teachers parked it around town for festivals, birthday parties and more. The owners recently moved into a storefront just south of the courthouse - and in fact, already moved one store over to have more space to expand! Love the mini masterpieces - the materials come in a paint can. Such a fun gift idea, party favor or art project. If you get a chance to pop in the caravan, do yourself a favor and peek inside. You'll see why they're loved in the community!

Giving back a portion of sales while supporting, empowering, and uplifting women in our communities. I can now add bracelet maker to my resume after this fun experience! If you are looking for a girly activity, this IS it! The store is beautifully decorated and super clean! You can host events here as well, so it would be perfect for a birthday, corporate event, bridal shower, GNO or even a date night. Now, on to details to make your own bracelet... The bead bar is huge, so be prepared... you might be overwhelmed (BUT in the best way!) With tonsss of colors, charms, and spacers to choose from, the possibilities are endless for making your bracelet! You can even make necklaces too. I believe the cost for a standard bracelet is around $30 and if you add extra spacers or charms, you'll just pay the difference. You even get a cute little pink bag to take your bracelet home in, if you're not already wearing it. The girls working were super sweet! They did a great job explaining the process and were patient in answering questions. I loved browsing all the cute, unique items they had for sale. They also sell bracelets handmade by volunteers, so if you're looking for special gift, look no further! I absolutely LOVED this activity and I will definitely be returning soon!

We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty empty with only one other group. It's such a beautiful space and kind of reminds me of Cake Bake. There were so many colors of beads to choose from but the charm selection could have used a restock. We had a nice time enjoying the atmosphere and chatting. We all loved our finished bracelets and paid roughly $75 for 3 bracelets. Part of the proceeds of each bracelet went to a charitable organization from a a few options provided that we were each able to choose which organization. Over all it was a great experience and I cant wait to visit with my daughter.

When making the reservation it will ask you for your design and who you want to be seated by. They'll have your board and the stencil ready for you. After that, you'll do some damage to make it look a little worn, stain, paint, and stencil. Voila! It took us a few hours, so definitely don't plan anything immediately afterwards. I would highly recommend and will likely be back to make my Spring sign! Thank you B&B!

We started by picking out our paint colors and then learning how to properly combine them to get ready to put on our board. They showed us different examples of how we could pour the paint to come up with different designs/looks. It is so cool to see how many different ways you could take your creation. It was so cool to see the finished product from the day and I'm even more excited to see how it looks once they finish their work (I think the boards get a resin finish and not sure what else!) We had Tara and she helped make the experience super fun. She helped with paint combinations and also gave thorough instructions throughout, so we felt confident when we had to put paint to canvas. The owner was in the studio as well and she was so friendly and enjoyable to talk to while working on our art. I feel like there could be so many cool combinations, and I wanna come back to make another project in the future! They do take walk-ins as long as there is availability, but you can book online to ensure they are ready for you. Highly recommend checking this place out!!

They seemed to be running around like they were understaffed, but I am not sure. Our class was scheduled to start at 7:30, but it didn't get started until right after 8pm. I'm all for giving people a few extra minutes to come in and get settled, but 30 plus minutes is a bit much for a scheduled class. We were rushed the entire time and had 30 minutes less to complete our paintings. Overall I enjoyed myself because I like painting, but I'm not sure I would go back if the experience would end up being similar. I sat next to a drunk couple and did not get to finish my painting fully. The drunk couple sucked, but I understand we can't control how others act when drinking, but we can definitely control when the class starts and being set up better.
