There was an exterior exhibit along the front of the building, featuring paintings by Debra Howard, and a lovely fairy garden populates the back, which really fits in with the gorgeous natural space. A small red box is also located out front - similar to a Little Free Library, but it's a cute Little Free Art Gallery! Materials were available on the back deck to make your own tiny piece of art to add to the gallery, and then you were welcome to take a piece you liked. We really enjoyed the extra touches of tiny people checking out the display. Inside is a small gallery space, which was showing a Members Create exhibit. It was a nice opportunity to see a variety of art - painting, photos, prints, mixed media, found art, and more. Staff was friendly and welcoming!

She has a clear respect and love of the arts evident in its presentation and depth. I love going into the space because it feels good and gives me a chance to really look and appreciate the work, which I very much do!
